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

  1. Sign up for Microsoft 365
  2. Add a TXT record to your domain through Squarespace's domain dashboard
  3. Wait for verification to complete

Step 2: Configure DNS Records

  1. Access your Squarespace domain settings
  2. Add required DNS records for Microsoft services:
    • MX records for email routing
    • CNAME records for Outlook and other services
    • TXT records for spam protection
  3. 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.
