Yes, it is possible to add TXT fields or update DNS records for a connected and working domain in Webflow. Here's how you can do it:

  1. Log in to your Webflow account and go to the Project Settings.

  2. Under the Hosting tab, you will see the section called "Custom Domains" where you can find the domain connected to your Webflow project.

  3. Click on the connected domain and you will be taken to the domain settings page.

  4. Now, click on the "DNS Records" section.

  5. In the DNS Records section, you can add or update various DNS records including TXT records.

  6. To add a TXT record, click on the "Add Record" button and select the type as "TXT". Enter the necessary information in the value field.

  7. If you need to update an existing TXT record, find the record in the list and click on the edit icon. Make the necessary changes and save the record.

  8. After adding or updating the TXT record, you may need to wait for the DNS changes to propagate, which typically takes a few hours or up to 24 hours.

It's important to note that not all DNS record types are supported in Webflow. Currently, Webflow only supports A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, and TXT records. If you need to add or update other record types like SRV or NS, you will have to manage your DNS settings through a third-party DNS provider.

Adding or updating TXT fields and DNS records in Webflow is straightforward and can be done within the Project Settings. Just make sure to double-check the information you enter to avoid any issues with your domain's functionality.

Three additional questions:

  1. How do I access the Project Settings in Webflow?
  2. What is DNS propagation and how long does it take?
  3. Can I connect a domain to my Webflow project if it is registered with a different domain registrar?
