This guide walks you through adding the required DNS records in GoDaddy 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 Management in GoDaddy

  1. Log in to your GoDaddy account
  2. Select DNS from the left navigation
  3. Find your domain in the list and select it
  4. This will take you to the DNS management page for the domain

​
Add the MX Record

  1. Click Add New Record
  2. Set the Type to MX
  3. In the Name field, enter the name from Flowforth (e.g., send)
  4. Copy the MX Value from Flowforth into the Value field
  5. Set the Priority to 10
  6. Set the TTL to 600 (or use the default)
  7. Click Save
GoDaddy automatically appends your domain to the Name field. Enter only the subdomain portion — for example, type send instead of send.example.com.

​
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 GoDaddy DNS settings.
  1. Click Add New Record
  2. Set the Type to TXT
  3. In the Name field, enter the DMARC name from Flowforth (e.g., _dmarc)
  4. Copy the DMARC Value from Flowforth into the Value field
  5. Set the TTL to 600 (or use the default)
  6. Click Save
GoDaddyFlowforthExample Value
TypeTypeTXT
NameName_dmarc
ValueValuev=DMARC1; p=none;
TTL—600

​
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)

  1. Click Add New Record
  2. Set the Type to CNAME
  3. In the Name field, enter links
  4. In the Value field, enter links1.resend-dns.com
  5. Set the TTL to 600 (or use the default)
  6. Click Save

TypeTypeCNAME
NameNamelinks
ValueValuelinks1.resend-dns.com
TTL—600

​
CAA Record (Tracking)

  1. Click Add New Record
  2. Set the Type to CAA
  3. In the Name field, enter your domain (e.g., example.com or @)
  4. Set the Tag to issue
  5. In the Value field, enter amazon.com
  6. Set the TTL to 600 (or use the default)
  7. Click Save
GoDaddyFlowforthValue
TypeTypeCAA
NameNameYour domain
Tag—issue
ValueValueamazon.com
TTL—600
Some providers format CAA records differently. The full value should be 0 issue "amazon.com". GoDaddy may split this into separate Tag and Value fields.

​
Verify in Flowforth

Once all records are added in GoDaddy, 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 GoDaddy 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.
