How to Connect Office 365 Email with Your Squarespace Domain
Office 365 lets you create custom email addresses using your Squarespace domain. Here's how to set it up:
Prerequisites:
- Active Office 365 account
- Custom Squarespace domain
- Domain not connected to Google Workspace or other email services
Step 1: Verify Domain Ownership
- Sign up for Microsoft 365
- Add a TXT record to your domain through Squarespace's domain dashboard
- Wait for verification to complete
Step 2: Configure DNS Records
- Access your Squarespace domain settings
- Add required DNS records for Microsoft services:
- MX records for email routing
- CNAME records for Outlook and other services
- TXT records for spam protection
- Follow Microsoft's specific DNS requirements for your chosen services
Important Notes:
- DNS changes may take 24-48 hours to propagate
- Ensure all required records are added correctly
- Keep your Office 365 credentials secure
- For email migration assistance, consult Microsoft's documentation
Remember to test your email configuration after setup is complete to ensure everything works properly.
For third-party domains, contact your domain provider directly for Office 365 integration instructions.
