How to manage dns to validate mails with google

To validate emails with Google, you need to set up a TXT record in your DNS settings. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you manage your DNS and validate your emails with Google:

What is a TXT record?

A TXT (Text) record is a type of DNS record that allows you to add a text string to your domain's DNS settings. In this case, you'll use a TXT record to verify your domain ownership with Google.

Step 1: Create a TXT record

  1. Log in to your DNS provider's control panel (e.g., GoDaddy, Namecheap, Cloudflare, etc.).
  2. Find the section where you can manage your DNS records (usually labeled as "DNS Manager" or "Domain Settings").
  3. Click on the "Add Record" or "Create Record" button.
  4. Select "TXT" as the record type.
  5. Enter the following information:
    • Host: Leave it blank or enter "@".
    • TTL: Leave it at the default value or set it to a lower value (e.g., 300 seconds).
    • TXT Value: Enter the following string: v=spf1 include:_spf.google.com ~all
  6. Click "Save" or "Add" to create the TXT record.

Step 2: Verify your domain with Google

  1. Go to the Google Admin Console and sign in with your Google account.
  2. Click on "Apps" and then "OAuth 2.0 clients" in the left-hand menu.
  3. Click on "Create OAuth client ID" and select "Web application".
  4. Enter a name for your client ID and authorized JavaScript origins (e.g., https://example.com).
  5. Click "Create" and copy the client ID.
  6. Go back to your DNS provider's control panel and add a new TXT record with the following information:
    • Host: Leave it blank or enter "@".
    • TTL: Leave it at the default value or set it to a lower value (e.g., 300 seconds).
    • TXT Value: Enter the following string: google-site-verification=YOUR_CLIENT_ID_HERE
  7. Replace YOUR_CLIENT_ID_HERE with the actual client ID you created in Step 2.

Step 3: Wait for DNS propagation

It may take some time for the DNS changes to propagate globally. You can check the status of your TXT records using online tools like DNSChecker or WhatsMyDNS.net.

Step 4: Verify your domain ownership

Once the DNS changes have propagated, you can verify your domain ownership by going to the Google Admin Console and clicking on "Verify" next to your domain.

That's it! You should now have a TXT record set up to validate your emails with Google. If you encounter any issues or have further questions, feel free to ask.
