# Google Workspace Activation Process ### Step 1: Setting Your Password If you have correctly followed the [**Google Enterprise Email**](/documentations/google-workspace/google-enterprise-email.md) creation steps, you should receive an email from Google. In that email, click on the **marked link** to proceed.

Once clicked, you will be redirected to a page where you will be prompted to **set your account password**. Please use a **strong and secure password**, then click **Change Password** to continue.

After successfully updating the password, you will be redirected to the **Google Workspace Dashboard**, indicating that your administrator account has been initialized.

### Step 2: Activating the Google Workspace Admin Console From the same email mentioned above, click on the **second marked link** as shown in the reference image.

You will be prompted to **log in** using the account you have just created. After a successful login, you will be redirected to Google’s **Terms and Conditions** page. Review the terms carefully and click the **ACCEPT TERMS OF SERVICE** button to proceed.

Once accepted, you will be redirected to your **Google Admin homepage**. Here, you will notice that your **domain has not yet been verified**. Click on the **Verify** button to begin the verification process.

This will redirect you to the **Domain Setup** page. Click **Get Started** to continue.

On this page, you will be asked to **verify ownership of your domain**. You may complete this process **manually** or **automatically** (where Google automatically fills in the required DNS records). For clarity, both methods are explained below.

#### Manual Verification Method Click on **Switch to Manual Verification**. Next, select your **domain provider** from the available list.\ If your domain provider is not listed, check the box **My domain uses a different host**, or contact **Google Support** for further assistance.

After clicking **Continue**, you will receive a set of **TXT** or **CNAME** records. You can use either record type. Add the preferred record to your **DNS console**.

Once added, return to the Google Workspace setup page and proceed with verification. #### **Automatic** Verification **Method** For automatic verification, click on the **Automatic Verification** option. You will be redirected to a new page.

Ensure that you are **logged in to your DNS provider’s console** for a smoother process. The system will automatically detect and configure the necessary DNS records. You will simply need to **authorize the connection** by clicking the **Authorize** button.

If everything has been configured correctly, you will see a confirmation message stating **“Your domain is verified!”**. Once verified, the next step is to **activate Gmail** so you can send and receive emails through your administrator account. ### Step 3: Activating Gmail Access To activate Gmail, click on the **Activate Gmail** button.

You will be redirected to a new page, click **Continue** to proceed.

Next, you will be taken to the **Users List** page, where you will see the administrator account that was created earlier. Click **Proceed with Activation** to continue.

You will now need to configure your **MX records**. Select your **domain host provider** from the list and click **Continue**.

This will display the **MX records** that must be added to your DNS settings. If you are using your primary domain and the “Name” field is empty, enter **@** in that field. Copy the remaining information exactly as provided.

Depending on your DNS provider, the configuration may appear slightly different, but it should closely match the provided example.

Once all MX records have been successfully added, return to the **Google Workspace setup page** and **refresh** it. If the setup has been completed correctly, you will see the message **“You’re all set!”**. This confirms that your **Gmail account** and **Google Workspace services** are now fully active and ready for use.
