Thanks for looking into this, Luke!

Sure thing, I think there’s nothing that needs to be secret:

I bought the domain redd-project.org through Google Domains, then used Netlify’s DNS to make it the custom domain for redd-workshop.netlify.app.

I want to be able to email from someusername@redd-project.org and would like to use Google Workspace, as the domain is already registered through Google Domains.

  1. Google prompts me to verify that I own redd-project.org (even though I actually bought it through Google - I think this would be automatically verified if I hadn’t moved the DNS to Netlify).

  2. they prompt me to do so by adding a TXT record

  3. and they provide these steps for doing so which I’ve followed

But the verification never goes through. Any suggestions as to why that might be?

(The workaround I thought of is to move the DNS back to google’s name servers, then register with google workspace (the domain verification should now be straightforward), then afterwards move back to netlify’s DNS again)
