Office 365 allows you to 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

Setup Process:

1. Add Verification TXT Record

• Sign in to Microsoft 365
• Get the verification TXT record from Microsoft
• Add the TXT record to your Squarespace domain's DNS settings
• Wait for verification to complete

2. Configure DNS Records

• Add required DNS records for your chosen Microsoft services:
  • MX records for email routing
  • CNAME records for Outlook/Exchange
  • TXT records for spam protection
• Follow Microsoft's specific DNS requirements
• Allow 24-48 hours for DNS changes to propagate

Important Notes:

• Ensure your domain isn't linked to other email services
• DNS changes may temporarily affect existing services
• For email migration assistance, consult Microsoft's documentation
• Contact Squarespace support for domain-specific questions

For domain management:

• Access DNS settings through your Squarespace domains dashboard
• Verify all records are correctly entered
• Monitor email functionality after setup

These steps will connect your Squarespace domain with Office 365, enabling custom email addresses and Microsoft services. Keep your DNS records documentation for future reference.
