Naked domain points to Heroku instead of Clickfunnels

[user7922]

Hey, so www.domain.com and https://www.domain.com points to my ClickFunnels funnel just fine.
But when I type in the naked url without www or https it goes to a Heroku page totally unrelated to clickfunnels.
I followed the set-up from Clickfunnels and are using 2 CNAMES.

www
@

I saw people mentioning in other posts I need to enter an A-record. But it says that can’t be done since the 2 CNAME records already have the www and @.

Any idea how I can get this naked url to point to ClickFunnels also?

Thank you!

If you make sure the naked domain is set to , you should set a Page Rule for a Forwarding URL.
Match example.com/* and URL Forward it (301) to https://www.example.com/

Just to clarify, I believe ClickFunnels runs on Heroku. The issue is that they register your www (www.example.com) with their heroku load balancer, not your naked domain.

For a fix, you should remove the @/root/apex record from your DNS, then add a new A record with the name set to @, and address 192.0.2.1. Then, do as @sdayman instructed and create a page rule that redirects the root domain to the www subdomain, like below:

(301 or 302 is up to you)

Thank you Judge, that worked out perfectly.
The page-rule was already in place so I just removed the @ CNAME and created the A-record to 192.0.2.1 as you instructed.

However, where is 192.0.2.1 pointing to? Isn’t this an internal address? It feels weird to me that I want to link it to clickfunnels but need to use an address like 192.0.2.1 to get it done. Or is it just a dummy address to get the page-rule activated?

Exactly that.

It is explained in this wiki:

Using page rules to perform redirects

This support article explains the different variables you can use within your forwarding page rules: Why doesn’t my redirect page rule work? This is addressed briefly at the top of the support article but isn’t very obvious and appears to be missed or not understood by many users: Remember that any Page Rule subdomains must be resolving to Cloudflare in order to work. Subdomains that don’t exist in DNS or aren’t being directed to Cloudflare won’t have Page Rules applied, so you’ll need an …
