Setting up mailgun with CloudFlare

Website, Application, Performance DNS & Network
1

Hello.

I’m trying to set up Mailgun with Clickfunnels and it requires from me to set up some DNS records.

As usual, I follow the instructions provided. Everything seems to check up but the:

Optional DNS Records

The CNAME record is necessary for tracking opens, clicks, and unsubscribes.
Type Hostname Enter This Value Current Value
CNAME email.landevcos.com
mailgun.org

I’ve set this at DNS records of Cloudflare and that is the only thing that does not check up.

Mailgun has a confirmation system for the records and this CNAME doesn’t come up as green.

It’s very essential. Please help.

Hi, I ahve the same issue, but mine has been DNS only for several days (gray cloud). I checked with Mailgun support and they confirm the DNS record for cname does not point to Cloudflare. Any ideas?

5

What’s the domain? And the CNAME you set up?

6

CNAME email.mg.savvyauthors.com mailgun.org

I have it set to DNS only

tnx

It’s not showing up in DNS. You should have a DNS entry here that looks like the following:

Got it. they do not specify email.mg
Thanks, I will try that and see if it works.

I just went by what you had for a CNAME in your post. Use whatever subdomain they specified.

Does now work. Mailgun does not find CNAME record anyway.
I have tried name for record: email and email.mg. Does not work both.
I have tried grey and orange clouds… Still not working.
And always I`ve wait for 24-48 hours to make sure that changes have been applied.

You currently have email.fb-feed.net set to :orange:. It should be :grey:.

I`ve change cloud to orange after writing my question. It was grey before.
Okay, I am switching it back to grey. You can check again now. Hope somebody will find a solution.

Grey cloud does not change something for mailgun. Is always says Current value: not found. for CNAME record.

14

That’s correct now. If Mailgun keeps complaining about it, contact their Support team.

In my case, set to DNS only (grey) works instantly, after clicking Check DNS Record Now button in Mailgun dashboard, every checkmarks are green, thanks.

Hi,

I’ve the same issue.
My subdomain is “marketing.smartcarrental.mx” and DNS in Mailgun are in “green” status.
The URL in my template is:

https://email.marketing.smartcarrental.mx/c/eJxlj81qxCAURp9GdyP-RZuFi5A00EWZMoVuB6smcapmMKYzj19bSjeFuzicD-69n1WYad44Cb2imGLMsSSccCwQQY-SCsH7phtYS7uxAxxHnT9c8WlGW8VidM4uFR1QvMNFTcJSiyeuNTcTJ4a2jZ6sfmgs5tQYAaMivJWSSQyDWkq5boB1gI51_u2r7u9a5Z_vGBUVfbLujpYSA2DjXuJ5W_dsHGDDzb1vvjhAxbeOzvo9Vp3cbQuuFJd_E6PjVfs51cysn96SFmZ1Meeo0-xC7bmsJWofkFkjLKo_vj0Nh9fn_nR4OR2HL8KoYm0

… and this no resolve or redirect to main domain.
Can help me please?

Regards.

Your situation is not clear to me. The “marketing” website is showing a 500 error, so something on the server is misconfigured. It’s best to set DNS for the “marketing” subdomain to :grey: until you fix the site.

If email.marketing is a CNAME that you’ve set up for Mailgun, then it should also be set to :grey:.

Hi,

Thanks for you respond.
In Mailgun my subdomain “marketing.smartcarrental.mx” is configured without any issues.
Here un Cloudflare I config the DNS fo “marketing.smartcarrental.mx” like next picture:

What I hope is that the following link will redirect me without errors to my site:
https://email.marketing.smartcarrental.mx/c/eJxlj81qxCAURp9GdyP-RZuFi5A00EWZMoVuB6smcapmMKYzj19bSjeFuzicD-69n1WYad44Cb2imGLMsSSccCwQQY-SCsH7phtYS7uxAxxHnT9c8WlGW8VidM4uFR1QvMNFTcJSiyeuNTcTJ4a2jZ6sfmgs5tQYAaMivJWSSQyDWkq5boB1gI51_u2r7u9a5Z_vGBUVfbLujpYSA2DjXuJ5W_dsHGDDzb1vvjhAxbeOzvo9Vp3cbQuuFJd_E6PjVfs51cysn96SFmZ1Meeo0-xC7bmsJWofkFkjLKo_vj0Nh9fn_nR4OR2HL8KoYm0

If DNS in Cloudflare are well configured, why no redirects?
Thanks for your help,

Regards.

Hi,

I’ve created CNAME records for “email.marketing.smartcarrental.mx” domain and looking for propagation the status IS CURRENTLY UNKNOWN:

Test 1 - Network Tools: DNS,IP,Email
Test 2 - DNS Propagation Checker - Global DNS Testing Tool

This CNAME was created since 48 hours, why I still get this status?
Regards.
