How to connect your Cloudflare domain to systeme.io

On this page, you will learn how to add DNS records to Cloudflare to connect your main domain name. This will allow you to add your complete website (www.domain.com) to systeme.io to use it as a custom domain for your sales funnels and blogs, which helps strengthen your professional brand.

What you will need:

A systeme.io account
A domain name purchased from Cloudflare

Important: Please follow the first step of this article before completing this one.

After adding the root domain to systeme.io, you need to check the DNS settings from your Cloudflare account.

Note: Each domain added to systeme.io has its own CNAME records to integrate into the hosting site.

Example:

In this example, we will connect the domain www.test-sio.org to systeme.io

First, hover over your profile picture, click Settings, then go to Custom Domains and add your custom domain.

First CNAME:

Go to DNS, then click the Records tab for your domain.
Click on Add record >>Select the type CNAME >> Enter www in the Name field >> then add d16w104eonopib.cloudfront.net. in the Target field >> set the Proxy status to DNS only, then click Save. >> Finally, click on the button Save to save.

Note: If a CNAME record with the name 'www' already exists, edit its value to 'd16w104eonopib.cloudfront.net.'

Second CNAME:

Follow the same process described above to add a new CNAME record
In the Name field, copy and paste the string before your domain name, which in our example is _1ab7a1f65caf2afc0bb1cb4f3b47dcda >> In the Target field, add _dcc49c5ca8ece35ae6a9a4492bc6ae92.xlfgrmvvlj.acm-validations.aws. >> select DNS only in the proxy status >> Finally. Click on the Save button to save.

Once the two CNAMEs are correctly added to your host, you can check their status using the following tool:

You should see the same value you added next to a green checkmark, as displayed in the example below. If not, the records have not been added correctly, and you need to review your DNS zone:

CNAME 1 verification:

CNAME 2 verification:

Add a redirect rule:

To redirect your root domain (e.g., domain.com) to the 'www' version (www.domain.com), you need to create a CNAME record from the root to the same destination used for the first CNAME record for your domain integration:

First, please select the type CNAME, then add "@" in the Name field, then add 'd16w104eonopib.cloudfront.net.' in the Target field, and select DNS only in the proxy status. Finally, click on Save to add a redirection.

Notes:

It can take up to 24–48 hours for DNS records to propagate completely.
Sometimes, your host may not be able to register a CNAME record due to a conflict with other existing DNS records. This usually happens when adding the first CNAME. If a conflict occurs, contact your domain host to determine if existing records are necessary or if they can be safely removed.
