Connect Office 365 to Your Squarespace Domain in 2 Simple Steps

Office 365 lets you create professional email addresses using your Squarespace domain. Here's how to set it up.

Prerequisites:

• An active Office 365 account
• A custom Squarespace domain
• Your domain must not be connected to Google Workspace or other email services

Step 1: Verify Domain Ownership

1. Sign in to your Microsoft 365 admin center
2. Add your Squarespace domain
3. Access your Squarespace DNS settings
4. Add the Microsoft-provided TXT record to verify ownership
5. Wait up to 24 hours for verification to complete

Step 2: Configure DNS Records

1. Add required DNS records in your Squarespace domain settings:
   • MX records (for email routing)
   • CNAME records (for Outlook and other services)
   • TXT records (for spam protection)
2. Find exact record values in Microsoft's admin center
3. Allow up to 24 hours for DNS changes to propagate

Tips:

• Back up existing email data before migration
• Keep both email systems running during transition
• Test new email addresses before full switchover
• Update email clients and apps with new settings

Your Office 365 email will be ready to use once DNS propagation is complete. Microsoft's auto-discover feature will help configure your email clients automatically.

Note: For specific DNS record values and detailed migration steps, refer to Microsoft's current documentation, as these values may change.
