Custom Domains for Project Management Tools

Why custom domains matter for project management platforms

Agencies that resell project management as a service want the surface to look like theirs. projects.acme.com is the upgrade reason. Without it, they're picking between your tool and Notion's white-label trick.

What your users get

• Project dashboards at the agency's domain
• Client-facing share links stay on-brand
• No "powered by" subdomain visible to end clients

How it works in 3 steps

1. Your user types their hostname (projects.acme.com) into your UI.
2. your project management 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": "projects.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.
