Flowcode now supports the setup of custom domains, allowing you to use either the root (apex level) domain or a subdomain for your Flowcode QR codes. This flexibility enables brands to offer short, memorable URLs and use their existing domains.
Key Terms:
Apex Level Domain: The main domain name, such as
mycompany.com.Subdomain: A subdivision of your main domain, like
go.mycompany.com.
Benefits:
Apex Level Domains: Ideal for creating the shortest URLs possible, improving user engagement.
Subdomains: Allow you to integrate Flowcode with your existing domain without disrupting your website.
Steps to Set Up Your Custom Domain
Point Your Domain to Flowcode's IP Addresses: You need to update your domain's DNS settings with your registrar (like GoDaddy or Namecheap) to direct traffic to Flowcode. Add the following IP addresses to your domain’s settings:
For IPv4:
162.159.140.242172.66.0.240
For IPv6:
2606:4700:7::f72a06:98c1:58::f7
These IP addresses allow for both root and subdomain customizations. You can still use CNAME records, but they are no longer required if you're pointing to Flowcode via IP addresses.
Add the Domain to Flowcode: After updating your DNS settings, log in to your Flowcode organization’s dashboard and add the custom domain under the settings.
Verification and SSL Certificate: Flowcode will verify your DNS updates and automatically issue an SSL certificate to ensure your custom domain is secure.
Start Using Your Custom Domain: Once verification is complete, you can start using your custom domain for all your Flowcode QR codes. You can even set it as the default for conversion flows within your workspace settings.
By following these steps, you’ll be able to use branded URLs for your Flowcode QR codes, enhancing user trust and engagement while maintaining seamless integration with your existing digital assets.
