Trying to add new CNAME and it says it already exists but I don't see it

Am trying to add the CNAME to point my domain to my funnel in ClickFunnels: CNAME @ target.clickfunnels.com. The system says I cannot add that record because it already exists. Yet the record is not listed in the DNS records.

Make sure there is no A, AAAA or existing CNAME for @ (it will show as your domain name on the DNS page).

Otherwise, if you can give a screenshot of your DNS records.

Thank you for your reply.

The A record for motivexmarketing.com is @ (your domain). You will need to remove that if you want to enter a CNAME for @.

Note that this is a CNAME for your apex domain name (so not a subdomain like www), so will be flattened to return just an IP address. If this CNAME needs to be validated by your host it may not work.

The solution is to use www with the CNAME for your website and redirect the apex domain to it. We can deal with that if the problem arises.
