Add a TXT record at Cloudflare
Where: Cloudflare dashboard → your domain → DNS → Records
Steps
- Click Add record.
- Type: TXT.
- Name: _dmarc (Cloudflare adds your domain). For SPF use @.
- Content: paste the value without quotes.
- Leave the proxy off (TXT records are never proxied) and save.
Watch for
- If a _dmarc record already exists, edit it rather than adding a second one.
- Cloudflare may show the value with quotes around it. That is normal.
Screens change from time to time; if yours differs, Cloudflare’s own help is the authority. Cloudflare documentation. When the record is in, check it with the DMARC checker; DNS changes can take a few minutes to appear.
