    Configuration on your DNS servers is only part of the process, which allows the web browsers to send requests to Azure.

    You can see from the official steps that you also need to associate the custom domain(s) with your App Service instance in Azure Portal. They cannot be skipped, or Azure has no way to know that incoming requests should be handled by it.
