Add DNS records at Cloudflare

Copy Type, Name/Host, and Value from GivFlow View DNS (or the email GivFlow sent). Do not invent records.

Before you start

  • You already have the GivFlow records.
  • You manage this zone in the Cloudflare dashboard. If the domain was added through a hosting partner, Cloudflare says to manage DNS at that partner.

Add the records

  1. In the Cloudflare dashboard, go to the DNS Records page.
  2. Select Add record.
  3. Choose a record Type that matches GivFlow.
  4. Fill Name and the value field. For TXT, that field is Content. For CNAME, the dashboard uses Target (some Cloudflare tables also say Content). Name is the prefix, or @  for the zone apex.
  5. Set TTL to Auto unless you have a reason to change it.
  6. Select Save. Repeat for each GivFlow row.

If you save TXT content without quotes, Cloudflare automatically adds double quotes. Paste GivFlow Value as shown — do not wrap it in extra quotes.

Note: Cloudflare’s docs say to set email and domain-verification records to DNS-only (grey cloud). TXT records are already DNS-only. If GivFlow View DNS lists a CNAME, turn the proxy off (grey cloud). This is not a setting inside GivFlow. See Cloudflare’s Proxy status and Use cases.

Return to GivFlow and click Check DNS.
