Custom domain setup

A custom domain lets clients access the product at app.youragency.com (or similar) instead of strategy.elevale.app. Configure this under BrandingCustom Domain.

Requirements

  • Use a subdomain only (e.g. app.youragency.com). Apex/root domains (youragency.com) are not supported.

  • Access to your DNS provider (Cloudflare, Route 53, GoDaddy, etc.).

  • Ability to add CNAME and TXT records.

  • If using Cloudflare, set the CNAME to DNS only (proxy OFF / grey cloud).

Step 1, Add the domain in Elevale

  • Open Branding → Custom Domain.

  • Enter your subdomain (without https://) and click Add Domain.

  • Status shows as pending until DNS is verified.

  • The admin UI displays the exact CNAME and TXT values for your hostname.

Step 2, Add the CNAME record

  • Type: CNAME

  • Name / host: the subdomain label only (e.g. app for app.youragency.com)

  • Value / target: strategy.elevale.app

  • Proxy: OFF (DNS only), required for verification and TLS

Step 3, Add the TXT verification record

  • Type: TXT

  • Name / host: _saint-verify.{subdomain} (e.g. _saint-verify.app)

  • Value: the unique verification token shown in the admin UI for your domain

  • This proves you control DNS before Elevale provisions TLS and routing.

Step 4, Verify

  • Wait for DNS propagation (often 5–10 minutes; can take up to 48 hours).

  • Click Verify in the Custom Domain panel.

  • On success, status changes to active and the Visit button opens your branded URL.

  • If verification fails, double-check CNAME target, TXT token, and that Cloudflare proxy is off.

What the custom domain covers

  • Branded login and signup (/auth/signin, /auth/signup).

  • The full in-app experience for your org's users.

  • Public Help Center at /help on your domain.

  • Client signup marketing links when Stripe Connect public signup is enabled.

Before custom domain is active

  • Users access the app via strategy.elevale.app with your org context.

  • Help Center URL: strategy.elevale.app/help/{your-org-id}.

  • Referral signup: strategy.elevale.app/auth/signup?ref={your-org-id}.

Removing or changing domain

  • Use Remove in the Custom Domain panel to detach a hostname.

  • Only one custom app domain is shown at a time per organisation.

  • Email sending domains (mail.youragency.com) are separate, see Email configuration.
