trying to set up email through google workspace... NOT through Homestead

I keep trying to follow the steps with Google Workspace (on my own, separate account - not part of Homestead and Google collab), but the step for authenticating my email is not being allowed.  I try to input the necessary TXT record for DKIM Authentication, but Homestead will not allow the TXT record name to be "google._domainkey" as it needs to be.

Please help!  I am almost want to ditch my website and start new elsewhere. But I am not quite there... yet. :(

Hello,

 

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. Unfortunately, this specific CNAME record is not supported by Homestead. We recommend creating a free Cloudflare account, as it will allow us to add the DNS records that Homestead does not currently support. If you have any questions or would like us to walk you through the process, please don't hesitate to give us a call. We'll be happy to explain everything in more detail.
