EMails not working due to DKIM?

I noticed that i wasn’t getting emails via my host provided email. After opening a support ticket with them, they said that the DKIM via my cloudflare had to be updated.

Problem is, I have absolutely no idea what needs to be updated. They gave me a string of text and I pasted that into the DKIM section and I’m still not getting emails.

How do i figure out what needs to be entered for this field to get my email working?

Please post a screenshot of the DNS record you entered here.

v=DKIM1; default._domainkey.harrisancestry.com. TXT v=DKIM1; k=rsa; p=MIIBIjANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQEFAAOCAQ8AMIIBCgKCAQEA3vY1smk2xr6LWQ9bgZbK62YDuHfQkgLSg3/Ql0Ah0favcGAe9WBoS0v+t1VucaSLccs/qqqw+ejEB06kiMQ0eYpjztzosnxEato7ZRD/qMMnbdsXJNy8r0SUq4dsE2nYx8bbEquyX77vF5KRldqKCcrmof1w2ZHnkimMKm83z0KCaDefjsZzUkMD8lkoqMG+P+MOUqVTXN2REhaRe+cOWgNb05Zk5bSBJh0J700ovIIt1WfGd9a38wGR00i4wr6o43aDgb0m7km0NPtrEJ6v0f4JQjMF9Z9dmn/4/JscAM9IduC0V18yhZIy6R2kaXXBlPuRSf9ZyDgUpPUxqHx54QIDAQAB;

This is what the web host sent me

You entered it as harris._domainkey

It should be entered as exactly: default._domainkey

Value of:
v=DKIM1; k=rsa; p=MIIBIjANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQEFAAOCAQ8AMIIBCgKCAQEA3vY1smk2xr6LWQ9bgZbK62YDuHfQkgLSg3/Ql0Ah0favcGAe9WBoS0v+t1VucaSLccs/qqqw+ejEB06kiMQ0eYpjztzosnxEato7ZRD/qMMnbdsXJNy8r0SUq4dsE2nYx8bbEquyX77vF5KRldqKCcrmof1w2ZHnkimMKm83z0KCaDefjsZzUkMD8lkoqMG+P+MOUqVTXN2REhaRe+cOWgNb05Zk5bSBJh0J700ovIIt1WfGd9a38wGR00i4wr6o43aDgb0m7km0NPtrEJ6v0f4JQjMF9Z9dmn/4/JscAM9IduC0V18yhZIy6R2kaXXBlPuRSf9ZyDgUpPUxqHx54QIDAQAB;
