Changing the subdomain

What is a subdomain and what to keep in mind?

Your account’s subdomain is randomly generated when creating a new account in Smaily and it usually consists of letters and numbers. But you can customize your account’s subdomain name to a more preferred one.

Subdomain is the name part of your Smaily account’s url, e.g if your account url is https://demo.sendsmaily.net/ then the subdomain name is “demo”.

It is recommended that you wait at least 3-5 days after the last sent campaign before changing the subdomain name.

Changing the subdomain name will affect the following:

  • shared landing pages will no longer be accessible from the old subdomain name;
  • API integrations (incl. opt-in forms) using the old subdomain name will stop working;
  • web copy and unsubscribe links of previously sent campaigns will stop working.

Note! After changing the subdomain name you also need to re-save your templates used by automation workflows and scheduled campaigns.
