SPF record for Google Workspace
How to add a SPF record when DNS or mail is at Google Workspace. Real steps, then a live lookup.
Google hosts the mailboxes. DNS still lives at your registrar or Cloudflare.
include:_spf.google.com
- Open the DNS panel for the domain (wherever the NS records point — often Cloudflare or GoDaddy, not the Admin console).
- Add a TXT record on the apex (@) with v=spf1 include:_spf.google.com ~all — or merge that include into an existing SPF record. Do not publish two SPF records.
- Wait for the TTL, then look the record up. Google Admin > Account > Domains can also confirm it.
