Custom Domains for Apps

Prev Next

When an app is created a subdomain is set for the app.

  • URL: https://(account name)-(app subdomain)-(environment name).app.oneblink.io

  • Account Name: The name assigned to your organization's account (name or acronym of the organization)

  • App Subdomain: This can be anything, usually the name or shortened version of the app name (myapp)

  • Environment Name: The name of the environment the app is in. The environment name will not be included for apps in the production environment. View more information on Environments.
