This guide walks you through adding the required DNS records in Squarespace to verify your domain with Flowforth.
Before starting, make sure you’ve already added your domain in Flowforth. You’ll need the DNS record values shown on the domain settings page.

​
Open DNS Settings in Squarespace

  1. Log in to your Squarespace domains page
  2. Click on your domain
  3. Scroll down to the Custom records section

​
Add the MX Record

In the Custom records section, click Add record:
  1. Enter the name from Flowforth (e.g., send) in the Host field
  2. Set the Type to MX
  3. Set the Priority to 10
  4. Use the default 4 hrs for TTL
  5. Copy the MX Value from Flowforth into the Mail Server field
  6. Click Save
Squarespace automatically appends your domain to the Host field. Enter only the subdomain portion — for example, type send instead of send.example.com.

​
Add the DMARC Record (TXT)

While not strictly required, adding a DMARC record is highly recommended. It improves deliverability and protects your domain’s reputation.
If your domain already has a DMARC record, you do not need to add another one. You can check by looking for an existing TXT record with the host _dmarc in your Custom records section.
In the Custom records section, click Add record:
  1. Enter the DMARC name from Flowforth (e.g., _dmarc) in the Host field
  2. Set the Type to TXT
  3. Use the default 4 hrs for TTL
  4. Copy the DMARC Value from Flowforth into the Text field
  5. Click Save

HostName_dmarc
TextValuev=DMARC1; p=none;
TTL—4 hrs (default)

​
Add the Tracking Records (Optional)

If you enabled click tracking or open tracking when adding your domain in Flowforth, you’ll need to add these two additional records. You can also enable tracking later from the domain detail page in Flowforth — the records will appear in your DNS table when tracking is turned on.

​
CNAME Record (Tracking)

In the Custom records section, click Add record:
  1. Enter links in the Host field
  2. Set the Type to CNAME
  3. Use the default 4 hrs for TTL
  4. Enter links1.resend-dns.com in the Data field
  5. Click Save

CAA Record (Tracking)

In the Custom records section, click Add record:
  1. Enter your domain (e.g., @) in the Host field
  2. Set the Type to CAA
  3. Use the default 4 hrs for TTL
  4. Enter 0 issue "amazon.com" in the Data field
  5. Click Save

​
Verify in Flowforth

Once all records are added in Squarespace, go back to your domain in Settings → Domains and click the “Records Added” button. Flowforth will check your DNS records and verify the setup in the background.
DNS changes can take anywhere from a few minutes to several hours to propagate. If verification doesn’t succeed right away, wait and try again later.

​
Troubleshooting

  • Verification failed: Double-check the records you added in Squarespace for copy/paste errors. Make sure you’re using only the subdomain portion in the Host field (e.g., send not send.example.com).
  • Priority conflict: If priority 10 is already in use on another MX record, use a different value like 20 or 30.
  • Still not verifying after 72 hours: Contact support@flowforth.co and we’ll help you debug the issue.
