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 can enhance your brand image.

What you will need:

• a systeme.io account
• a domain name purchased from Cloudflare

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

Note 1: 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 with systeme.io

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

INSTRUCTIONS :

First CNAME :

• Go to "DNS", then click on the "Records" tab of your domain name.
• Click on "Add record" >>Select the type "CNAME" >> Enter "www" in the "Name" field >> then add "d16w104eonopib.cloudfront.net." in the "Target" field >> select "DNS only" in the proxy status >> 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", copy and paste everything that comes before the 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: 

• https://dnschecker.org

CNAME verification 02 :

Add a redirect rule:

• Step 1: Access rule creation

1. In the Cloudflare dashboard, select your site (test-sio.org ).
2. In the left menu, click on Rules >> Overview.
3. Click on "Create a rule" in the section "Redirect from root to WWW".

Step 2: Configure the redirect rule

1. Give a name to your rule, for example: Redirect from root to WWW .
2. In the section If incoming requests match..., select Wildcard pattern.

Step 3: Define URLs and the type of redirection

In Request URL, enter:

1. https://test-sio.org/*

2. In Target URL, enter:

   https://www.test-sio.org/${1}

   This allows redirecting all pages to their equivalent with "www".

3. Choose the Status code: 301 (permanent redirect).
4. Click on "Deploy" to activate the rule.

Note 2: It can take up to 24–48 hours for DNS records to propagate completely.

Note 3: 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.

At that point, you need to contact your host to understand the importance of these existing DNS records and to give you the green light for their deletion.
