Before you start

You'll need:

  • Access to your domain's DNS settings

  • An unused subdomain (like "forms.yourcompany.com")

  • Ability to complete setup within 72 hours

Important: Don't use your root domain (like "yourcompany.com"). Always use a subdomain!

Step-by-Step Setup

1. Start the Setup Process

  1. Go to Settings > Custom Domain

  2. Enter your subdomain (example: `forms.yourcompany.com`)

  3. Click "Set up domain"

  4. Wait a few minutes for DNS record generation

  5. Use the trash can icon to stop your DNS record set up

2. Update Your DNS Settings

1. Log into your domain provider's dashboard

2. Find the DNS settings section

3. Add the provided DNS records exactly as shown

4. Click "Verify and start using domain"

Remember: You have 72 hours to verify your domain

3. Wait for SSL Certificate

Your SSL certificate will generate automatically after verification.

Common Questions

How long does it take?

  • DNS changes typically take 15-60 minutes to propagate

  • The entire process usually takes less than an hour

What if verification fails?

  • Double-check your DNS records

  • Ensure the subdomain isn't being used elsewhere

  • Start a new setup if 72 hours have passed

Can I change my domain later?

Yes, but you'll need to go through the verification process again.
