Office 365 lets you create custom email addresses using your Squarespace domain. This guide explains how to set it up properly.

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 in to Microsoft 365
2. Add a TXT record to your domain for verification
3. Access your Squarespace domain panel to add the record
4. 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 email authentication
2. Access your Squarespace domain settings
3. Input the DNS records according to Microsoft's specifications
4. Wait for DNS propagation (can take up to 48 hours)

Important Notes:

• For email migration assistance, consult Microsoft's documentation
• Custom third-party domains require support from your domain provider
• Google Workspace users need to contact Google for Microsoft Apps integration

The setup process typically takes 24-48 hours to complete. Once finished, you can start using your custom email addresses with Office 365 services.

For complex configurations or troubleshooting:

• Review your DNS settings in Squarespace
• Verify all required records are properly added
• Check Microsoft's documentation for specific service requirements
• Contact Squarespace support for domain-related issues
