Domain Setup for Client Portal, Courses and Funnels

How to set up branded subdomains for your client portal and funnels in Alvéya — adding CNAME records, verifying, and options for multiple subdomains.

This guide outlines the steps to set up domains and URL redirects in Alvéya for your client portal and funnels — giving each one its own clean, branded subdomain.

Set Up Your Client Portal Domain

1. Access Domains and URL Redirects

  • Navigate to the Domains and URL Redirects section in Alvéya.

  • Confirm which subdomains you already have set up.

2. Set Up the Client Portal Domain

  • Click on Connect Domain.

  • Enter your client portal subdomain — most practitioners use the word "portal" (e.g. portal.yourdomain.com).

3. Add the Domain Record

  • Click on Add Domain and then Add Record.

  • Choose CNAME as the record type.

  • Set the Host as your subdomain word and the Value as the client portal URL shown in Alvéya.

  • Copy the required value for the next step.

4. Configure Your DNS Settings

  • Go to your domain host's DNS settings.

  • Select CNAME and input your subdomain word as the Host.

  • Paste the copied value into the Value field and save.

5. Verify Domain Records

  • Return to Alvéya and click on Verify Records.

  • Wait approximately 30 seconds for verification.

6. Confirm Verification

  • Check for the Modify button — this indicates successful verification.


Set Up a Domain for Funnels

Go back to Settings, then Domains and URL Redirects, and click Connect Domain for the funnel setup.

1. Add the Funnel Domain Record

  • Name the domain with your chosen subdomain (e.g. offers.yourdomain.com).

  • Click Add Record and choose CNAME.

  • Copy the subdomain value for your funnel and add it in your DNS settings, just as you did for the portal.

2. Verify Funnel Domain Records

  • Return to Alvéya and click on Verify Records to confirm the funnel domain.


Additional Options

  • If needed, you can add domains for stores or websites later.

  • If a 404 page is not set up yet, you can return and select it later.

  • You can set up multiple subdomains for different funnels.


Cautionary Notes

  • Ensure that the subdomain names are unique and not already in use.

  • Double-check the CNAME values to avoid misconfiguration.
