This guide will walk you through how to properly add DNS records for your custom branded email domain within GoDaddy.
These instructions will help you validate your domain after generating the CNAME records within the dashboard for the custom email domain.

How to Add DNS Records for Your Custom Email Domain
From within your GoDaddy account, click on Domain Control Center.
Select the Domain you’re using to access the Domain Settings page.
Navigate to Additional Settings and select Manage DNS.
Under Records, select Add.
For the Type, choose CNAME.
In the Host field, enter the Host that was generated in the dashboard.
In the Points to field, enter the Value that was generated in the dashboard.
Under TTL, select a time frame (1 hour).
If everything appears correct, select “Save”. Repeat the process two more times so all three CNAME records have been added.
With this process complete, you can now navigate back to your dashboard and Validate. If the CNAME records were input correctly, you should be all set to continue with your custom branded email domain in the dashboard!
