Squarespace specific instructions for iCloud+ custom email?

I was hoping someone has already put together Squarespace-specific instructions for this process?

Here's an update on my end. After reaching out to Squarespace we deleted the TXT record that contains the "spf1" values. Then, after deleting it, we added it back without the "quotes" around value.


So instead of:


"v=spf1 redirect=icloud.com"


we used


v=spf1 redirect=icloud.com


After waiting for a little bit, the DNS changes took place, and the custom domain in iCloud worked! Hopefully, that helps anyone else who stumbles across this thread!

@heriberto182 and @adamhann, sorry for the delay. I wish I would have documented it a little better because now that it's all established, it's hard to tell what I was doing wrong initially.


That said, below is what my DNS records look like on the Squarespace side now. Hopefully it fills in enough of the gaps to get it working for you both. Good luck!
