Login to the Google Workspace Admin console (admin.google.com). In the left menu, click on Apps → Google Workspace → Gmail. Then click on Authenticate email.

On the next screen, select your domain and then click the Generate New Record button. You will then receive a DNS record which looks like the following:

If you would like ClickWP to install the DNS record for you, copy and paste the DNS record as plain text (not a screenshot). Here's an example DNS record you would send to us:
