Has anybody had issues with this? For some reason, google is not recognizing my setup. My domain registrar is AWS and I also tried adding the certificates there, but no luck. I don't even know where to begin debugging

For anyone seeing this today, I had to do now dns add yourdomain.com @ MX codehere 15 instead of the first TXT record.

@rlindskog doesn't seem to work for me, keep getting "Invalid value parameter (not a valid FQDN) (400)" - is there another way?

To avoid problems with terminals and reserved words, I recommend:

now dns add yourdomain.com '@' TXT google-site-verification=codehere
now dns add yourdomain.com '@' MX ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM 1
now dns add yourdomain.com '@' MX ALT1.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM 5
now dns add yourdomain.com '@' MX ALT2.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM 5
now dns add yourdomain.com '@' MX ALT3.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM 10
now dns add yourdomain.com '@' MX ALT4.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM 10

Following on from @oleole90's solution:

I had the same issue using the mx verification record provided by G Suite. (For some reason they want an MX record nowadays rather than a TXT)

> now dns add yourdomain.com @ MX xxxsecretxxx.mx-verification.google.com. 15
> Now CLI 18.0.0
> Error! Invalid `value` parameter (not a valid FQDN) (400)

Turns out it was the full-stop at the end of the hostname causing the error. Remove the dot and we're good.

> now dns add yourdomain.com @ MX xxxsecretxxx.mx-verification.google.com 15
> Now CLI 18.0.0
> Success! DNS record for domain yourdomain.com (rec_xxx) created under username

Hi guys,

I am new to Zeit and I have hosted a website on zeit platform recently.

I have a GSuite subscription primarily for the Gmail server using my custom domain. I have originally registered my domain with Namesilo. What I have been told by Namesilo is that now I need to move all my A, CNAME, MX and TXT records with to zeit as I am using Zeit's nameservers.

I have already done that - created CNAME, MX and TXT records on Zeit platform. What I want is to be able to redirect a user to google mail for my custom domain. My mail is perfectly setup on Google.

When I browse to mail..com, it doesn't work. Couple of questions.

  1. Do I need to setup a subdomain on Zeit? mail..com??
  2. What CNAME record I need to create?

Attached image lists all record types.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
Sunny

Zeit records

@djstein Thank you, this worked for me as well.

I also didn't add the last command and it still worked. Does anyone know if it is required?

Hello everyone,

We are beta testing our DNS UI! You can activate it on vercel.com/_flags. Check your domain's dashboard after that.

@richyrb00 these records seem to work great. Super easy with the DNS ui @paulogdm.

djstein commented Jun 22, 2020

and for everyone else, I added the MX record for my specific Google Business email access
