Verifying a domain proves that your organization owns it. Once verified, Confidence associates the domain with your workspace.
To manage domains, you need the Admin role.

Add a domain

1

Go to Domains

Go to Confidence. On the bottom of the left sidebar, select Admin > Domains.
2

Add a domain

Click Add domain and enter your organization’s domain (for example, acme.com). Confidence suggests domains based on the email addresses already associated with your workspace.Free email domains like gmail.com or outlook.com cannot be registered.

Verify Ownership With a DNS TXT Record

After adding a domain, you need to verify that your organization owns it by adding a TXT record to your DNS configuration.
1

Open the DNS record dialog

Click Verify on the domain row. A dialog shows the TXT record you need to add:
  • Host: Your domain (for example, acme.com)
  • Value: A verification string in the format confidence-domain-verification=<token>
Use the copy buttons to copy each value.
2

Add the TXT record to your DNS

Log in to your DNS provider (for example, Cloudflare, GoDaddy, or Route 53) and add a new TXT record with the host and value from the previous step.
The record goes on the domain itself. Most DNS providers call this host @ or let you leave the host field empty.
DNS changes can take anywhere from a few minutes to 48 hours to propagate, depending on your provider.
3

Verify the domain

Back in Confidence, click Verify. Confidence checks your DNS for the TXT record and marks the domain as verified.If verification fails, double-check that the TXT record is published correctly. You can use a tool like Google Admin Toolbox Dig to confirm that the record is visible in public DNS.

Remove a domain

To remove a domain, open the actions on the domain row and select Remove. Removing a verified domain also removes the ownership association with your workspace.
