A custom email address matching your domain adds professionalism to your business communications. When using Squarespace, you have two main options for custom email addresses:

Google Workspace Integration

• Create new custom email addresses through Squarespace's partnership with Google Workspace
• Billing managed through Squarespace
• Access emails, calendars, and documents through Google's interface
• Includes full Google Workspace functionality

Using Existing Email Address

• Continue using your current custom email address with Squarespace
• Domain linking won't affect existing email hosting
• For Squarespace domains, adjust MX records to maintain third-party email service

Important Notes About Email Hosting

• Squarespace doesn't host email addresses
• All email hosting is handled externally
• Hosting breakdown:
  • Site: Hosted by Squarespace
  • Custom domain: Squarespace or third-party provider
  • Email: Always third-party (Google Workspace or other providers)

Ensuring Proper Email Delivery

1. Add DKIM records to your domain to prevent spam filtering
2. For Google Workspace users: Follow Google's DKIM and SPF record guidelines
3. For other providers: Contact your email provider for DKIM/SPF setup instructions
4. Add necessary DNS records to your Squarespace domain
5. Follow best practices to avoid spam filters when sending email campaigns

These custom email solutions work with both Squarespace domains and third-party domains, providing professional communication tools for your business.
