Squarespace
Verify your domain on Squarespace with Resend.
Add Domain to Resend
Login to your Resend Account and add a domain.
It is a best practice to use a subdomain (updates.example.com) instead of the root domain (example.com). This allows for proper reputation segmentation based on topics or purpose (e.g. transactional and marketing).
Login to Squarespace
Login to your Squarespace domains page and click on your domain.
Add MX SPF Record
Scroll down to the Custom records section and click Add record on Squarespace.
Add the MX Record from your domain in Resend to Squarespace and click “Save”.

| Host | Name | send |

| Mail Server | Value | feedback-smtp.us-east-1.amazonses.com |
