Your bots just got a whole lot more professional. We're excited to announce **Custom Domains** — a feature that lets you serve your Chat Thing bots from your very own domain.

Instead of embedding your bot from `embed.chatthing.ai`, you can now use something like `chat.yourcompany.com` or `support.yourbrand.io`. It's fully white-labelled, SSL-secured, and takes just a few minutes to set up.

## Why Custom Domains?

When you embed a Chat Thing bot on your website, your users see our domain in the embed URL. For most use cases that's fine, but if you're building a product, running an agency, or just want that extra polish — having your own domain makes all the difference.

**Benefits include:**

- **Brand consistency** — Your bot lives on your domain, matching the rest of your site
- **Trust signals** — Users see your domain, not a third party
- **Professional appearance** — Perfect for client-facing bots and enterprise deployments
- **Full SSL coverage** — We handle certificates automatically via Cloudflare

## How It Works

Setting up a custom domain is straightforward:

1. **Add your domain** — Head to your bot's Web channel settings and enter your desired domain (e.g., `chat.yourcompany.com`)
2. **Configure DNS** — We'll generate three DNS records for you to add:
   - A TXT record for SSL certificate validation
   - A TXT record to verify domain ownership
   - A CNAME record pointing to `embed.chatthing.ai`
3. **Verify and go live** — Click verify, wait for DNS propagation, and you're done!

Once active, your embed codes automatically update to use your custom domain. No code changes needed.

## Domain Status Flow

Your domain will progress through these statuses:

- **Pending** — Domain added, awaiting setup
- **DNS Pending** — Records detected, SSL certificate being issued
- **Active** — Fully configured and ready to use ✅
- **Failed** — Check your DNS records and try again

## Availability

Custom Domains is available as a paid addon. Each addon provides one custom domain slot across your team. You can purchase additional slots from your [billing page](https://chatthing.ai/app/billing) if you need multiple domains.
