This guide walks you through adding the required DNS records in Cloudflare to verify your domain with Flowforth.
Before starting, make sure you’ve already added your domain in Flowforth. You’ll need the DNS record values shown on the domain settings page.

​
Open DNS Settings in Cloudflare

  1. Log in to your Cloudflare account
  2. Select your domain
  3. Go to DNS → Records

​
Add the MX Record

Click Add record:
  1. Set the Type to MX
  2. Enter the name from Flowforth (e.g., send) in the Name field
  3. Copy the MX Value from Flowforth into the Mail Server field
  4. Set the Priority to 10
  5. Use the default Auto for TTL
  6. Click Save
Cloudflare automatically appends your domain to the Name field. Enter only the subdomain portion — for example, type send instead of send.example.com.

​
Add the SPF Record (TXT)

Click Add record:
  1. Set the Type to TXT
  2. Enter the name from Flowforth (e.g., send) in the Name field
  3. Copy the TXT Value from Flowforth into the Content field
  4. Use the default Auto for TTL
  5. Click Save
Cloudflare automatically appends your domain to the Name field. Enter only the subdomain portion — for example, type send instead of send.example.com.

​
Add the DKIM Record (TXT)

Click Add record:
  1. Set the Type to TXT
  2. Enter the DKIM name from Flowforth (e.g., resend._domainkey) in the Name field
  3. Copy the DKIM Value from Flowforth into the Content field
  4. Use the default Auto for TTL
  5. Click Save
Cloudflare automatically appends your domain to the Name field. Enter only resend._domainkey instead of resend._domainkey.example.com.

TTL—Auto

​
Add the DMARC Record (TXT)

While not strictly required, adding a DMARC record is highly recommended. It improves deliverability and protects your domain’s reputation.
If your domain already has a DMARC record, you do not need to add another one. You can check by looking for an existing TXT record with the name _dmarc in your Cloudflare DNS records.
Click Add record:
  1. Set the Type to TXT
  2. Enter the DMARC name from Flowforth (e.g., _dmarc) in the Name field
  3. Copy the DMARC Value from Flowforth into the Content field
  4. Use the default Auto for TTL
  5. Click Save
CloudflareFlowforthExample Value
TypeTypeTXT
NameName_dmarc
ContentValuev=DMARC1; p=none;
TTL—Auto

​
Add the Tracking Records (Optional)

If you enabled click tracking or open tracking when adding your domain in Flowforth, you’ll need to add these two additional records. You can also enable tracking later from the domain detail page in Flowforth — the records will appear in your DNS table when tracking is turned on.

​
CNAME Record (Tracking)

Click Add record:
  1. Set the Type to CNAME
  2. Enter links in the Name field
  3. Enter links1.resend-dns.com in the Target field
  4. Make sure the Proxy status is set to DNS only (grey cloud icon)
  5. Use the default Auto for TTL
  6. Click Save
The CNAME tracking record must not be proxied through Cloudflare. Make sure the orange cloud icon is toggled off (grey cloud / DNS only). If proxied, tracking verification will fail.

​
CAA Record (Tracking)

Click Add record:
  1. Set the Type to CAA
  2. Enter your domain in the Name field (e.g., example.com or @)
  3. Set the Tag to issue
  4. Enter amazon.com in the CA domain name field
  5. Use the default Auto for TTL
  6. Click Save

​
Verify in Flowforth

Once all records are added in Cloudflare, go back to your domain in Settings → Domains and click the “Records Added” button. Flowforth will check your DNS records and verify the setup in the background.
DNS changes can take anywhere from a few minutes to several hours to propagate. If verification doesn’t succeed right away, wait and try again later.

​
Troubleshooting

  • Verification failed: Double-check the records you added in Cloudflare for copy/paste errors. Make sure you’re using only the subdomain portion in the Name field (e.g., send not send.example.com).
  • Priority conflict: If priority 10 is already in use on another MX record, use a different value like 20 or 30.
  • Still not verifying after 72 hours: Contact support@flowforth.co and we’ll help you debug the issue.
