But what if I want to use the Google Domain Servers?

Looking into that myself, currently!
Domains, email, storage, etc are all in Google Workplace (G-Suite) context, so I need to send ONLY the website to Netlify. (not using NetlifyDNS)

I mention this in case there is a strong case/reason against this method.
If there is, I'd be grateful for someone to elaborate.

On the original post... well written and straightforward to follow.
Glad you prompted this topic :)

Hi. Did you ever have any luck figuring out pointing to Netlify for site only and just using Google Domain Servers for DNS stuff? I am having an issue where my emails are flagged as insecure because Google cannot verify the emails are sent from our custom domain. This only happens when I point to Netlify's DNS servers in the Google Domains dashboard.

Did you read the documentation?

I figured this out. To use the Google Domain Servers it's in this documentation.

Do it you need to do that steps of this tutorial and then just add a custom record in the google domains. Like this. And the record to Netlify’s load balancer IP address: 75.2.60.5.

Then wait a while and it worked for me.
