By configuring a custom domain, you can make viewers of SlapFive full-page Boards feel like they are on one of your own branded web properties. Instead of having the URL of your Boards begin with ‘your_company.slapfive.com’, they will begin with ‘your_subdomain.your_company.com’.

Once you set up a custom domain, any viewers of your boards will be redirected to your custom domain.

The way you set up a custom domain is by creating a subdomain of your company’s domain, for example ‘voice.your_company.com’.

1. Have your IT department create a subdomain

Once you’ve decided on the prefix to use for your custom domain, make a request to your IT folks to create a DNS record for your subdomain using the following fields:

Type: CNAME
Name: prefix.your_company.com
Value: your_company.slapfive.com  (Make sure this is your SlapFive Program URL which can be found in your Client Settings.)

2. Enter your Custom Domain into your SlapFive Client Settings

Go into Client Settings, and in the Custom Domain field, enter your custom domain, which is the Name field from your subdomain.

3. Let us know that your subdomain has been created and what name you gave it

Then we will complete the final step in the process, which is to add your custom domain to the SlapFive domain console.
