# Use a Custom Domain for Agent Links > Point your own domain at an AI agent. Visitors land on your-brand.com instead of taskade.com. Same agent, your URL bar. - Source: https://www.taskade.com/learn/agents/branded-links - Section: AI Agents - Updated: 2026-09-28 - Index of all pages: https://www.taskade.com/learn/llms.txt ## Overview Branded links replace the default `taskade.com/a/{slug}` URL with your own domain. Same agent, your branding in the URL bar. Pair this with the [agent widget](https://www.taskade.com/learn/agents/agent-widgets) and visitors never leave your origin during a conversation. > **TL;DR:** Add a CNAME record at your DNS host pointing to `external.taskade.com`, then open **Agent → Share → Domain** and confirm. Taskade provisions free SSL and your agent is reachable at the branded URL within minutes. Available on Business and above. See [Publish Agents Publicly](https://www.taskade.com/learn/agents/public-agents) to make sure the agent is public first. --- ### Set the CNAME Open your DNS host (Cloudflare, GoDaddy, Namecheap, Route 53, anywhere you manage your domain) and add one record. 1. Open your DNS host. 2. Add a **CNAME** record for the subdomain you want (for example, `ask`). 3. Point the value at `external.taskade.com`. 4. Set TTL to **Auto** or 300 seconds for the fastest propagation. 5. Save. Most DNS hosts publish the change within 1 to 5 minutes. A few legacy registrars take up to an hour. You do not need to delete or change any other records on the domain. --- ### Attach the domain to the agent Once the CNAME is live, link it to the agent inside Taskade. 1. Open the **Agents** tab and click the agent you want. 2. Click **Share** in the top-right. 3. Switch to the **Domain** tab. 4. Paste the full subdomain (for example, `ask.your-brand.com`). 5. Click **Verify**. 6. Wait for the green check. Verification usually takes under a minute. Once it lands, your agent is reachable at `https://ask.your-brand.com` with valid SSL. --- ### SSL and renewal You do not need to upload a certificate or renew anything. Taskade handles SSL automatically. - SSL certificates are issued through a public certificate authority on first verification. - Certificates renew every 60 days, well before expiry. - HTTPS is enforced. Plain HTTP requests redirect to HTTPS automatically. - Modern TLS (1.2 and 1.3) is supported. Older protocols are disabled. If your domain is behind Cloudflare or another proxy, set the SSL mode to **Full (Strict)** so the proxy validates Taskade's certificate end to end. --- ### Use with widgets When a [widget](https://www.taskade.com/learn/agents/agent-widgets) is embedded, the popout view loads from the branded domain so cookies and analytics stay on your origin. That means: - First-party cookies work without cross-site warnings. - Your existing analytics (Plausible, GA4, PostHog) attribute the chat session to your domain. - Browser permission prompts (camera, mic, file upload) say "your-brand.com" instead of "taskade.com". - Email links and screenshots show your URL, which builds trust. No extra config. Once the domain is verified, the widget picks it up automatically. --- ### One domain, many agents Use a single root domain (for example, `ask.your-brand.com`) and route to multiple agents by path: `/sales`, `/support`, `/onboarding`. Set the routes in the **Domain** panel. | Path | Agent | Use it for | | --- | --- | --- | | `/` | Default agent | The general-purpose assistant | | `/sales` | Sales agent | Pricing, demos, lead capture | | `/support` | Support agent | Product help, troubleshooting | | `/onboarding` | Onboarding agent | New customer walkthroughs | Each path runs an independent conversation thread, with its own tools, knowledge, and Inbox. Switch agents by editing the path map. No DNS changes needed. --- ### Common DNS issues Most setup problems trace back to one of three patterns. The fix is usually fast. | Symptom | Likely cause | Fix | | --- | --- | --- | | Verification still says **Configuring** after 10 minutes | DNS has not propagated, or the CNAME points somewhere else | Run `dig CNAME ask.your-brand.com` and confirm it resolves to `external.taskade.com` | | Browser shows an SSL warning | Certificate is still being issued, or a proxy is intercepting traffic | Wait 5 minutes after verification. If using Cloudflare, set SSL mode to **Full (Strict)** | | Branded URL redirects back to `taskade.com` | The domain is not attached to a public agent, or public access is off | Open the agent's **Publish** tab. Make sure that **Publish Agent** is on and that your domain is picked in the **Agent Share Link** menu on the **Share** tab | If the green check still does not appear, drop a note in the support chat with your domain. Most cases resolve in under an hour. --- ### Related guides - [Embed AI Agents as Website Widgets](https://www.taskade.com/learn/agents/agent-widgets).
