The domain [domain] can't be found under [project]

Hi – I have been running

bun vercel dns import [domain] [zone file]

but it keeps on telling me

The domain [domain] can't be found under [team]

Some notes:

  1. When I go to https://vercel.com/[team]/[project]/settings/domains, I am able to see the domain listed there.
  2. I am calling the vercel command from a linked project folder.
  3. The domain is purchased on GoDaddy but I have pointed the nameservers to Vercel and I have a subdomain pointing a deploy on this project (from the GUI).
  4. This works for my other ones purchased on namecheap where I have pointed the nameservers to Vercel. I noticed that those other ones are listed as “Account Domains” whereas the current one is not (see image below). I think this is a legacy issue as I cannot move this new domain to become an “Account Domain”

How can I rectify this situation?

Hi @tianhuil. It sounds like a team scope issue. You can use the vercel switch command or the --scope option to change to the correct team scope. Please give that a try and let me know if it works for you.

Thank you so much @amyegan for that super fast response this late at night! That worked!

Vercel should really change the error because my new command is

vercel --scope [team] DNS import ...

But the error when I didn’t use --scope [team] said the domain could not be found under can't be found under [team]. The error is confusing because it made me think the tool figured out the right team and didn’t need me to supply it under the scope.

I’m glad it worked for you! And I’ll share your feedback with the CLI team :smile:
