Adding a G Suite Domains

The add screen will require some details about your G Suite domain. Once this is completed there is an additional step that needs to be done for it to correctly be able to communicate with your G Suite Domain. This is a manual Step required by Google to complete that we need to do at the server side end. You can request we do this for you.
