Office 365 allows you to create custom email addresses using your Squarespace domain. Here's how to set it up:

Requirements:

• Active Office 365 account
• Custom Squarespace domain
• Domain not connected to Google Workspace or other email services

Step 1: Verify Domain Ownership

1. Sign in to Microsoft 365
2. Add a TXT record to your domain through Squarespace's domain dashboard
3. Follow Microsoft's verification process

Step 2: Configure DNS Records

1. Add required DNS records based on your Microsoft services:
   • MX records for Outlook/Exchange
   • CNAME records for additional services
   • TXT records for spam protection
2. Access your Squarespace domain's DNS settings
3. Input the DNS records provided by Microsoft

Important Notes:

• Wait up to 48 hours for DNS changes to take effect
• For email migration assistance, consult Microsoft's documentation
• Third-party domain users should contact their domain provider
• Google Workspace users need Google support for Microsoft Apps integration

Tips for Success:

• Double-check all DNS record entries
• Keep Microsoft's configuration instructions handy
• Verify changes through Microsoft's admin portal
• Test email functionality before full deployment

Contact your domain provider or Microsoft support for specific troubleshooting needs. Remember that DNS changes may temporarily affect existing services during propagation.

For detailed steps on adding custom DNS records, check Microsoft's official documentation or Squarespace's DNS management guide.
