Heroku and Mailgun - Can I add records to my DNS

Alright, so I deployed my Ruby app to Heroku which I use Mailgun to handle email.

I linked my heroku account and dyno to mailgun. I set up my production.rb and I enter my domain so it can be verified by Mailgun.

To they approve my account I have add some TXT records to my Heroku DNS. But I cannot find where to do it. Is it possible? Or I have to buy my own domain in order to config on GoDaddy (for instance).

Thank you.

Generally TXT records can be added/modified by owner of host. Since you deploy application on Heroku, you cannot manage these records yourself.

Instead you probably need to add Mailgun from Heroku's dashboard as add-on. This action doesn't requires any further DNS configuration as far as I remember. Your account on Mailgun's dashboard will look like 'app123456.mailgun.org' under section 'Sandbox Domains'. All Mailgun environment variables are set-up automatically after adding add-on thus you start sending quickly. If you already have Mailgun account, I guess, adding Mailgun add-on will overwrite all related environment variables.
