Setting up a custom domain for your recipients (CNAME)

Written by Martina

When you send a Parallel, your recipients will receive an email with a clickable link. By default, this link is using the www.onparallel.com domain. As part of some of our plans, you will be able to make this a domain of yours.


What to do

  1. Decide on the domain name, for example, parallel.yourcompany.com.
    ​

  2. Your IT department needs to create a CNAME DNS record in your domain configuration that points to lb.onparallel.com. Capital letters are not allowed in domain or subdomain.
    ​

  3. Check that the CNAME is configured properly by opening this CNAME checking tool and typing in your selected domain. You should see something like the following:
    ​

    If you don't see a row with your selected domain please ask your IT department to check if the record has been properly set.
    ​

  4. Get in touch with Customer Success or support@onparallel.com the DNS record has been created. We'll then make sure to connect it to your Parallel account.
    ​

  5. Your Customer Success Manager or Support will also make sure to order an HTTPS certificate on your behalf.
