How to connect your Cloudflare subdomain to systeme.io

On this page, you will learn how to add DNS records to Cloudflare to connect your subdomain. You will be able to add your subdomain (subdomain.domain.com) to systeme.io to use it as a custom subdomain for your sales funnels and blogs, which can enhance your branding.

What you will need:

a systeme.io account
a subdomain purchased from Cloudflare

Important: Please follow the first step of this article before following the instructions on this page.

After adding the subdomain in systeme.io, you need to see the DNS settings in your Cloudflare account

Note 1: Each subdomain added to systeme.io has its own CNAME records to integrate into the hosting site.

Example:

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

You will then need to log in to your systeme.io account and click on your profile picture, then go to "Custom Domains" and add your subdomain.

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 "example" in the "Name" field >> then add "dv5xmtsih8vdv.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 "example" already exists, edit its value to "dv5xmtsih8vdv.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 "_1e366b448745f61ccc649902693d7606.example" >> In the "Target" field, add "_c70c6d7febc99dd01828cb70f1c6b5c6.xlfgrmvvlj.acm-validations.aws." >> select "DNS only" in the proxy status >> Finally. Click on the "Save" button to save.

Once the two CNAME records are properly 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 verification 01 :

CNAME verification 02 :

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.
