{% hint style="warning" %}
**WARNING**: Cloudflare is removing this feature and replacing it with a new
feature called "Dynamic Single Redirect". DNSControl will automatically
generate "Dynamic Single Redirects" for a limited number of use cases. See
[`CLOUDFLAREAPI`](../../provider/cloudflareapi.md) for details.
{% endhint %}

`CF_TEMP_REDIRECT` uses Cloudflare-specific features ("Forwarding URL" Page
Rules) to generate a HTTP 302 temporary redirect.

If _any_ [`CF_REDIRECT`](CF_REDIRECT.md) or `CF_TEMP_REDIRECT` functions are used then
`dnscontrol` will manage _all_ "Forwarding URL" type Page Rules for the domain.
Page Rule types other than "Forwarding URL” will be left alone.

{% hint style="warning" %}
**WARNING**: Cloudflare does not currently fully document the Page Rules API and
this interface is not extensively tested. Take precautions such as making
backups and manually verifying `dnscontrol preview` output before running
`dnscontrol push`. This is especially true when mixing Page Rules that are
managed by DNSControl and those that aren't.
