How to set up a custom domain for your workspace

Brand your altaFlow workspace with your own domain so every document your recipients see comes from your company, not ours.

With a custom domain, your altaFlow workspace uses your company's own web address. Signing links sent from your organization will use your company's web address instead of the default altaFlow URL.

documents.yourcorp.com/AbCd321

This helps in two ways.

First, your workspace feels more like part of your company. It uses your domain, your brand, and a more consistent experience for everyone who interacts with your documents.

Second, recipients see a familiar domain when they open a document to sign. Instead of a default altaFlow URL, they see a link connected to your organization, which helps build trust before they take action.

Note: Setup is handled by the altaFlow support team and takes 1–2 business days after all required information is submitted.

How it works on our side

Once your request is received and verified, the altaFlow team takes care of the technical configuration:

  1. We register your subdomain in our infrastructure and automatically issue an SSL/TLS certificate. You don't need to manage certificates.

  2. We configure your workspace to generate all new signing links using your custom domain.

  3. We turn on the feature for your workspace. After that, signing links will use your domain instead of the default altaFlow URL.

Note: Links sent via SMS are shortened with altaFlow's URL shortener, so your custom domain won't appear in the message. After the link is opened, the signing session will use your custom domain. Other signing links will show your custom domain once it's active.

What to prepare before contacting support

Step 1: Choose your subdomain

Decide which subdomain you want to use. It must be a subdomain of a domain your company owns and controls. Root domains (e.g., yourcorp.com) aren’t supported.

Examples: documents.yourcorp.com, sign.yourcorp.com, esign.yourcorp.com

The custom domain can only be assigned to one workspace. If your company has multiple workspaces in altaFlow, you can assign a separate subdomain to each one:

Subdomain

Workspace

sign.yourcorp.com

Main workspace

hr.yourcorp.com

HR workspace

sales.yourcorp.com

Sales workspace

Step 2: Submit a request to support

Send a request to [email protected] or reach out to your Account Manager with:

  • The full subdomain you want to use (e.g., sign.yourcorp.com)

  • Your workspace name in altaFlow

Our support team will send you the exact DNS records to add to your domain settings.

Step 3: Add the DNS records

Once you receive our reply, log in to your DNS provider and create the following records:

Type

Name / Host

Value / Points to

CNAME

fallback.altaflow.com

TXT

provided by support

TXT

provided by support

Note: If an existing A, AAAA, or CNAME record already exists for the same subdomain, remove it first. Conflicting records will block the setup.

Step 4: Let us know

After you add all three records, reply to the support thread so we can complete the setup.

After setup

We'll notify you when your custom domain is live. From that moment:

  • All new signing links will use your custom domain

  • Links created before the feature is turned on will still work, but they'll keep using the default altaFlow URL

  • Your audit trail shows when the feature was turned on or off

To request changes or turn the custom domain off, go to My workspace > Custom domain and click Contact Support.

This feature is currently available at no additional cost. As we continue to develop it, we may introduce separate pricing in the future. We'll notify you before any changes take effect.
