How to Set Up a Custom Domain Name

Set up custom domain to point the default domain for your Flowlu account (example.flowlu.com) to a custom domain. Only account administrators can configure the custom domain.  

For example, if your company website is available at company.com, you can connect a subdomain such as subdomain.company.com. Or you can set up a separate personal domain for your portal, such as mycompany.com.

Custom domain functionality requires you have an Enterprise subscription plan. It's not available if you are using a trial version of Flowlu.

Step #1. Create a CNAME record

A CNAME record (Canonical Name record) is a type of resource record in the Domain Name System (DNS) that maps one domain name (an alias) to another (the canonical name).

Go to you DNS provider. 

Create a CNAME record that directs your domain to the default domain for your Flowlu account. 

For instance, if you want to use the domain like example.example.com (third-level or a subdomain) for your Flowlu account, create a CNAME record that points example.example.com to company.flowlu.com or an A record that points it to IP address (you can find IP in the System Settings of your account). 

Generally, when adding a CNAME record you need to enter your custom domain to the Host field and your current Flowlu domain should be entered to the Value/Target.

If you wish to use the domain like example.com (second-level), you need to create an A record that points example.com to IP address (you can find it the System Settings of your account).

You can learn more about how to create the CNAME or A record by exploring your DNS provider's documentation.

Once you create a CNAME record, open whatsmydns.net/#CNAME and enter your custom domain into the field. Press Search. This will help you to ensure that you've created a CNAME record correctly. For the A record, use this link whatsmydns.net/#A/ to check if your custom domain is up and running. 

Step #2. Connect the custom domain to your Flowlu account

Go to your Flowlu account. Navigate to Portal Settings → Main Settings → Branding. 

Type your custom domain name. 

Scroll down a page and press Save.

Well done! Your custom domain for Flowlu account is now live.
