Cant redirect my main domain to herokuapp domain using CNAME

I want to redirect my existing domain to heroku app, so I create a heroku app for this, when I tried to change CNAME(Alias) to mydomain.herokuapp.com just after save, I saw that one trailing DOT sign put after my heroku link and it looks like this: mydomain.herokuapp.com. So when I enter my main domain to browser I get: "No such app found" message, because it redirects to mydomain.herokuapp.com. address.

Means I can't delete . (trailing dot), my domain registerer is enom and I purchased domain via Google marketplace.

See http://www.enom.com/help/configHelp.htm

If you don't have a trailing dot, the DNS will automatically append your domain name.

So if you own example.com and you CNAME www to mydomain.heroku.com, it will try to send you to mydomain.heroku.com.example.com.

But if you CNAME it to mydomain.heroku.com., it will actually point to mydomain.heroku.com which is what you wanted.
