Custom Domains

Definition: A custom domain puts your live Taskade Genesis app on your own branded web address, like portal.youragency.com, instead of a Taskade subdomain. Automatic SSL turns on the moment the domain points at your app, so every visitor lands on a secure, professional URL. Custom domains are available on the Business plan and up.

TL;DR: A custom domain gives your no-code app a branded home like portal.yourbrand.com with automatic HTTPS, no certificate setup, no server. Buy one inside Taskade or connect a domain you own, both on the Business plan ($25/mo) and up. Step-by-step setup lives in the custom domains guide.

You already do a version of this. You send clients a link, then apologize for the address it lives on. A custom domain removes the apology. The app stays exactly the same, but now it answers at your brand.

What Is a Custom Domain for a No-Code App?

A custom domain is your own web address pointed at a no-code app you built with Taskade Genesis. Instead of a shared Taskade subdomain, visitors reach your app at something like app.yourbrand.com. The app, your data, logins, and automations are identical. Only the front door changes, and it now carries your name.

This matters most when other people log in. A branded address signals that the portal, dashboard, or tracker is part of your business, not a tool you borrowed.

How Does Publishing to a Custom Domain Work?

You build the app, Taskade runs one pre-publish check that confirms any saved API keys stay hidden, then you publish and point your domain. SSL provisions on its own within minutes. The flow below shows the four steps from a finished build to a live address.

Any API keys your app uses stay hidden from visitors. Taskade keeps them private before anything goes public, so an app that calls an outside service never exposes the key behind it. See app publishing for the full publish path.

How Do I Set Up a Custom Domain?

Two paths, both inside the app settings. Buy a fresh domain through Taskade and the records configure themselves, or connect a domain you already own by adding a couple of DNS records at your registrar. Either way, HTTPS turns on automatically once the domain resolves.

Buy a domain inside Taskade

1. Open your Taskade Genesis app settings
2. Go to Custom Domain
3. Search available domains and purchase
4. DNS records configure automatically
5. SSL provisions within minutes

Connect a domain you already own

1. Open your Taskade Genesis app settings
2. Go to Custom Domain
3. Enter your existing domain
4. Add the provided DNS records at your registrar
5. Verify, and HTTPS turns on automatically

Bought-through-Taskade domains support .com, .org, .net, .app, .dev, and .fyi. Both the apex (yourbrand.com) and www versions work with the right redirects, so visitors reach your app no matter which they type. The full walkthrough with screenshots and a troubleshooting section lives in the custom domains guide on Learn.

Which Plan Includes Custom Domains?

Custom domains are available on the Business plan ($25/mo billed annually) and up. Free and Pro apps stay on a Taskade address. Point your own branded domain at an app the moment it is ready, and HTTPS turns on automatically.

Custom domains pair with GenesisAuth, Taskade's built-in email sign-in for app visitors, also on Business and up. Together they give you a branded address and branded logins for the same app.

What Do You Get With a Custom Domain?

Beyond the branded URL, a custom domain carries the production details that make an app feel like a real product. None of them need manual setup.

• Automatic SSL. Every domain is served over HTTPS. No certificate to buy, renew, or install.
• Apex and www together. Both yourbrand.com and www.yourbrand.com route to the app with the correct redirects.
• Global edge delivery. Static assets load fast worldwide from a global CDN.
• Automatic renewal. Domains bought through Taskade are tracked for renewal, so you do not lose the address.
• Clean deep links. App navigation, deep links, and browser history all work on your domain, the same as the default address.

Common Use Cases

A custom domain fits any app you hand to other people. A few patterns operators reach for first:

• Client or member portal on portal.youragency.com, where customers log in to see their own data.
• Internal tools on tools.yourcompany.com, so the team knows the dashboard is official.
• Public site or landing page on yourbrand.com, built and hosted as a no-code website.
• Campaign pages on a memorable address for a launch or event.

Build Your Branded Client Portal

You are already sending clients a link to a spreadsheet, a shared inbox, or a folder. Build the portal once in Taskade Genesis and give it your address.

Describe it in plain English to Taskade EVE, the meta-agent behind Taskade Genesis: "a client portal where each customer logs in, sees their project status, uploads files, and reads my latest update." Taskade EVE builds the screens, the connected projects that hold each client's records, the email logins so the right person sees the right data, and the automation workflows that email a client the moment their status changes. Then you point portal.youragency.com at it.

What your client sees: your brand, your address, a secure HTTPS lock, and their own project. What you see: one place every client already trusts. Start building on Taskade Genesis →
