Custom Domains for CRM & Client Portals

Why custom domains matter for CRM and client portal platforms

Agencies and B2B services need their client portal to feel like THEIR product, not yours. portal.acme.com is what every prospect-to-pricing-call evaluation will eventually ask for. It's the difference between a $99/mo seat and a $499/mo team plan.

What your users get

• Client portal on the agency's domain
• Login and email flows match the agency's brand
• Tools available on every paid tier if you want

How it works in 3 steps

1. Your user types their hostname (portal.acme.com) into your UI.
2. your CRM platform POSTs to the Domainee API to register it and gets back the CNAME the user needs to add at their DNS provider.
3. We monitor DNS, issue the cert via Let's Encrypt, and webhook back when it's live. Usually about 60 seconds.

The code

curl -X POST https://api.domainee.dev/v1/domains \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $DOMAINEE_API_KEY" \
  -H "content-type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "hostname": "portal.acme.com",
    "originUrl": "https://app.your-saas.com",
    "mode": "proxy",
    "redirectWww": true,
    "metadata": { "workspaceId": "your-internal-id" }
  }'

The response includes a dnsRecords array (usually one CNAME). Show that to your user, tell them to paste it at their DNS provider, and we'll handle the rest.
