TL;DR: Connect a custom domain (e.g., app.yourcompany.com) to any published Taskade Genesis app for branded URLs with automatic SSL. Business and Enterprise plans support unlimited custom domains. CNAME setup takes ~5 minutes and certificates provision automatically.
Here is the path from picking a domain to a live, branded link:
Overview
The Domains feature allows you to personalize shared public links for a consistent, branded experience on paid plans.
How Does It Work?
With Domains, you can do three things:
- Set up a free Taskade subdomain for your workspace, like
mymarketing.taskade.site. This makes shared links more professional and easier to remember. - Add a custom domain you already own, like
mymarketing.my-domain.com, through your own DNS provider. - Use your new domain for any public link you share.
Here is what each kind of branded link looks like:
| Area | What you share | Branded URL |
|---|---|---|
| Published Taskade Genesis Apps | Client portals, booking systems, dashboards, or any app you built with Taskade Genesis | myapp.my-domain.com |
| Published Projects | Timelines, deliverables, or progress updates, with no account needed to view | mymarketing.my-domain.com/a/123456abc123 |
| Published Automations | Standardized processes, onboarding flows, or templates others can reuse | mymarketing.my-domain.com/flow-template/workflow456 |
| Public Forms | Contact forms, surveys, or event registrations that match your domain | mymarketing.my-domain.com/f/contact789 |
| Public AI Kits | Ready-made toolkits of agents, automations, projects, and templates | mymarketing.my-domain.com/k/aitools101 |
Note: Custom Domains set for the Home space do not affect the other spaces/Apps. Cnames need to be set for each Folder/Team individually.
Get a Free Taskade Subdomain
A free Taskade domain allows you to create a branded link under the taskade.site domain, such as "mymarketing.taskade.site." This option is perfect for if you want a professional link for sharing public agents and projects without additional costs.
Here's how to get started:
- Navigate to your workspace/ app.
- Go to Settings → Domains.
- Choose the Domains tab from the left sidebar.
- Under ➕ Add Domain choose Taskade Subdomain.
- Enter your preferred subdomain (e.g., "mycompany").
- Click Update to save the domain name.
Note: Your new subdomain will now apply to any public agents shared from your workspace. Check our guides on Sharing Public Agents to learn more.
- The domain will be marked as Verified.
Set Up a Custom Domain
A custom domain lets you use your own branded domain name, such as "mymarketing.my-domain.com," by configuring DNS records with your domain provider. Choose this option if you already own a domain and want full customization.
Note: Custom domains are available on paid plans.
- Open your app Settings.
- Go to the Domains tab on the left.
Choose your domain type.
Pick from an available Taskade subdomain or add your own.
- Enter your domain and Taskade will show you the exact DNS record to add.
- Add the CNAME record to your DNS provider (see provider guides below).
- Taskade automatically checks DNS propagation .
- SSL is auto-provisioned once verification passes (typically 5-30 minutes).
| Domain Type | Example | Plans | SSL |
|---|---|---|---|
| Taskade subdomain | myapp.taskade.site | All plans | Auto |
| Taskade subdomain | myapp.taskade.app | All plans | Auto |

Custom Domain FAQ
How do I fix the "Request HOST is not whitelisted" error?
When a subdomain or domain is set up for a workspace, only its supported public links work. For example, if mymarketing.taskade.site is your subdomain, only public links like mymarketing.taskade.site/a/123456abc123 resolve. Open the published link from the app or Domains panel rather than typing a path by hand.
How do I fix the "custom hostname does not CNAME to this zone" error?
This shows when the CNAME record at your domain provider has not resolved to Taskade yet, so no certificate has been issued. Confirm the CNAME points at external.taskade.com with no typos, then wait. DNS changes can take up to 24 hours to propagate fully.
Which plan do I need for a custom domain?
Custom domains are available on the Business, Max, and Enterprise plans. Free, Starter, and Pro do not include them. A free taskade.site or taskade.app subdomain is available on every plan.
Can I use a root domain, or only a subdomain?
Both. A subdomain like app.yourdomain.com uses a CNAME pointing at external.taskade.com. A root domain like yourdomain.com uses an ALIAS or ANAME record at @, or you can move your nameservers to Cloudflare. Taskade shows the right instructions when you enter the domain.
