How to point GoDaddy subdomain to Heroku app?

I have checked all existing Questions & Answers relating to this but it is very confusing to implement old answers with the updated ui of GoDaddy DNS.

What I have done so far is added domains to my app by using command: heroku domains:add xyz.com --app xyz.

But I am not sure what exactly I need to enter while creating CNAME record. I have tried create different CNAME record according to different answers but none worked.

Is there a book about DNS or similar that I can read to understand such issue and fix it? I have called GoDaddy but the support guy didn't care much to help me.

To connect your heroku hosting to godaddy,

You have to open your godaddy account and in the DNS Management page add in the cname the host: www and in the point to: your heroku url And in the heroku page in the settings add three domains:

1 *.xyz.com 
2: xyz.com
3. www.xyz.com

This should work :) Check this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kKGSGT7mSnQ&feature=youtu.be
