Hi,
DNS Records not propagation - but MX and TXT records working
my domain is mapped to google sites for website, mx records for Microsoft 365. But the when I look for DNS records propagation it is not showing the C NAME, A records. Why? How to fix it?
I tried DNS> Settings > C NAME Flatten which is showing as “Flatten CNAME at Apex” no other option is shown there.
What domain?
Can you share a list, perhaps a screenshot, of the record(s) you have issues with, so we can see how they appear in your Cloudflare Dashboard?
How exactly did you test it, or otherwise end up on that conclusion, that the record(s) do not propagate?
They appear to resolve just fine. You are looking up the individual records correct?
Hi,
Link - [DNS Checker]
(https://
dnschecker
.org/cname-lookup.php?query=futuredynamics.in&dns=cloudflare)
when we check for CNAME propagation in the above link, we get error message as “Search Error or CNAME Records not Exists. No CNAME record were found for the domain.”
Other domains are working fine.
The subdomain https://portal.futuredynamics.in is not loading the link
(https://my-planner.in )
Proxied 
CNAMEs are published as A and AAAA records. If you need a CNAME to be published you must set it to 
DNS Only.
DNS Checker Link [CNAME Lookup - Check the CNAME Record for Any Domain (dnschecker.org)](https://dnschecker.org/cname-lookup.php?query=futuredynamics.in&dns=cloudflare)
As long as your CNAMEs are you will not find any CNAMEs with any tools. They are published as A and AAAA records using Cloudflare proxy IPs.
I think there’s a misunderstanding as to how to look up a DNS record and how Cloudflare works.
First the link you are using is looking for a specific address. https://dnschecker.org/cname-lookup.php?query=futuredynamics.in&dns=cloudflare is looking for a CNAME record for the root record. Ignoring the fact you can’t have a CNAME for a root record, it’s not looking for portal.futuredynamics.in and whether it is proxied (as it currently is and will onyl return an A record or it is set to as @epic.network indicates if you really want a CNAME record is irrelavent.
DNS is working just fine…you’re simply asking for the wrong record futuredynamics.in <> portal.futuredynamics.in `https://portal.futuredynamics.in’ returns a 200 response and a blank page. If it’s supposed to return something else… that’s not a DNS issue.

Again expected if the record is proxied… and it is.

If you want it to return a CNAME and not be proxied set the record to DNS only.
Hi,
I tried both
https://futuredynamics.in/
and also
https://portal.futuredynamics.in/
https://www.whatsmydns.net/#CNAME/portal.futuredynamics.in
The CNAMEs are not propagating.
Correct. You have configured them not to.
Thanks, learnt new thing today, that the CName cannot be checked for root domain. Took time for me to understand what root domain is. Thanks for your reply.
