What is a CNAME record?
CNAME record is an element present within the Domain Name System (DNS), which is also considered the canonical domain. If you have ever visited a site with www.companysitename.com, the www prefix is usually a CNAME record pointing directly at the companysitename.com domain.
Why is it important to set up the CNAME records?
CNAME records typically map one domain to another domain, creating an alias for the second domain. They help with the white-labeling of Landing Pages in Mailmunch. Publishing your landing page on your own custom domain is one of the best practices to maintain brand unity across your campaigns.
