I have been trying to add mailgun dns TXT record on google cloud dns, with the data provided by mailgun,

Type TXT

Hostname mydomain.org

Enter This Value v=spf1 include:mailgun.org ~all

mailgun required data

I entered the whole information on google cloud dns as I though it should be. Other ones worked well, except this particular TXT data.

I coppied the data provided by mailgun (v=spf1 include:mailgun.org ~all). But after cppied the txt data and pasted it on google cloud dns, under TXT, double quotation mark will automatically be added giving me the following result after saving it ("v=spf1" "include:mailgun.org" "~all"), which is normal.

But after all the settings, mailgun will not recognize it, as you can see on the first image.

Please guys, what should I do about this?

Have you tried putting double quotes around the entire record value when adding it in the Google Cloud console?

I had the same problem, but either of the following worked for me :-

"v=spf1\ include:mailgun.org\ ~all" or v=spf1\ include:mailgun.org\ ~all

The backslash makes the space literal I think. Can't remember which of the above worked, but it does work.

You can use this hint: https://support.google.com/a/answer/33786?hl=en

" Create a TXT record with these values: Name/Host/Alias—Enter @ or leave blank. Other DNS records for your domain might indicate the correct entry."
