Love this feature so much!

[@sarahsepanski1516]

feature suggestion: I was on grow free trial and went thru a lot of pain configuring a custom domain, then it reset when the free trial ended, so I have to reconfigure. it would be nice if this were a smoother transition

[@byteclaw]

Thanks! This was useful

[@beehiiv]

no problem!

Is there a way to connect my custom domain name to my gmail so I can configure business emails?
I had this business email feature connected to my gmail when my domain was connected to a different webhosting service. Since I have reassigned my domain name with beehiv, it seems I am unable to send/receive emails from the business email I made

[@sarahsepanski1516]

add instructions for configuring this via aws route 53 / terraform, please

hi, I tried adding domains this morning but it never gave me any information to change the DNS records...it just says it is verifying...is it doing it all for me now?

[@LoveandGrace3]

never mind...I got it! :)

[@sarahsepanski1516]

Also, after clicking "Verify", please provide a more specific error message than "Custom domain is not configured correctly". Please provide a hint at why.

[@sarahsepanski1516]

Okay... this was not a very helpful error message. Actually, the domain WAS configured correctly, but it wasn't able to detect that it had been configured yet. After waiting and clicking "Verify" again, the issue resolved itself

​@@sarahsepanski1516 how long did you wait?
