Thanks @jolo this was super helpful when migrating my nameservers from GoDaddy to Zeit.

Just one thing to add - if one's a complete ru🗝 like me and has email already set up with G Suite - make sure to add MX records with Now CLI like so:

$ now dns add YOURDOMAINHERE.com @ MX ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM 1
$ now dns add YOURDOMAINHERE.com @ MX ALT1.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM 5
$ now dns add YOURDOMAINHERE.com @ MX ALT2.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM 5
$ now dns add YOURDOMAINHERE.com @ MX ALT3.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM 10
$ now dns add YOURDOMAINHERE.com @ MX ALT4.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM 10

Because all previously added DNS records are wiped from GoDaddy after the change.
