This is often a timing issue but not in this case. I checked the domain theclaytalk.com but no TXT records exist at the moment.

I recommend that you check your settings in the Domains panel and try to add the TXT record again. Do post a screenshot of the current settings if you are unsure how to proceed.

Same exact problem for me. Need to fix this because emails keep bouncing for certain segments of our audience with filters or high security.

Tried '@' instead of google host/TXT name, and it isn't working for me... at least checking immediately. Perhaps need to wait 48hrs. Not ideal to have to wait that long over and over to fix this. See attached. Thanks for any advice out there!
