How do I set up SPF for Google Workspace?

Add a single TXT record at your domain apex: v=spf1 include:_spf.google.com ~all. That’s it — Google Workspace’s include: mechanism covers every Google-controlled sending IP. If you also send from other services (SendGrid, Mailchimp, HubSpot), add their includes: v=spf1 include:_spf.google.com include:sendgrid.net ~all. Publish the record via your DNS host (Cloudflare, Route 53, GoDaddy, etc.) as a TXT record on the root domain. Verify with the email authentication checker — it should show SPF=Pass within 5-30 minutes. Watch the 10-DNS-lookup limit if you add multiple includes.
