TXT records are a type of Domain Name System (DNS) record in text format, which contain information about your domain. TXT records also have information that helps external network servers and services handle outgoing email from your domain.

To store new types of information, the TXT record uses a structured format in its TXT-DATA field. The format consists of the attribute name followed by the value of the attribute. The name and value are separated by an equals sign (=). Any printable ASCII character is permitted for the attribute name.

The DNS 'text' (TXT) record lets a domain administrator enter text into the Domain Name System (DNS). The TXT record was originally intended as a place for human-readable notes. However, now it is also possible to put some machine-readable data into TXT records. One domain can have many TXT records.

A TTL of 1800 to 3600 is recommended for TXT (SPF)/DMARC/DKIM/CAA records. If you don't need to make changes often, opt for the higher TTL, which will be sufficient since these records are primarily used for static verifications.
