With our API domains (Branded Domains), you can brand your system-generated links to represent a chosen domain. We highly recommend adding your API domain to increase deliverability and brand recognition when sending out links.


Setting a custom API domain updates the domain shown in the links that are generated for:

  • Forms
  • Surveys
  • Calendar Links
  • Trigger Links
  • Shortlinks


Note: For Review Links, Custom API Domain setup is currently unavailable and is under development. 

You can brand system-generated links at two levels:

1. Agency Level (API Domain)

2. Sub-Account Level (Branded Domain)


Configuring your API Domain at the agency level creates a default branded domain that will be used by all sub-accounts. This will apply to links generated for things like the Calendar Scheduler and Invoices, for example.


To configure a branded domain at the Agency Level: 

  • Within the Agency View, go to "Settings" > "Company" and scroll to the API Domain field shown below
  • Enter the sub-domain you want the system to use when creating links (something like links.yoursite.com)



  • Next, go to to your domain registrar (e.g. GoDaddy, CloudFlare, Namecheap, etc) and create a CNAME record in your DNS settings for (using the example above) 'links' that points to brand.ludicrous.cloud



  • IMPORTANT: Scroll to the bottom of Agency Settings page > Company page and click the "Update Company" button to save your changes.


Sub-Account Level: 


Configuring your API Domain (Branded Domain) at the sub-account level creates a default branded domain that will be used for only that sub-account. This supersedes the agency level branded domain.


To configure a branded domain at the Sub-Account Level: 

  • Within the Sub-Account view, go to "Settings" > "Business Profile" and scroll to the Branded Domain field
  • Enter the sub-domain you want the system to use when creating links (something like links.yourclient.com)



  • Click the "Add Domain" button and the domain connect wizard will launch. Follow the prompts to have the wizard automatically create the CNAME in your domain registrar

If you need to create the CNAME manually:

  • Go to your domain registrar and create a CNAME record in your DNS settings for (using the example above) 'links' that points to brand.ludicrous.cloud



  • IMPORTANT: Scroll to the bottom of Sub-Account Settings > Business Profile page and click the "Update Information" button to save your changes.



Troubleshooting:


NOTE: If you previously set up your API/Branded domain and you want to update it to run on brand.ludicrous.cloud, you'll need to first clear the API/Branded Domain field, click Update Company to save, then re-enter your sub-domain into the API/Branded Domain field and save again. 


The API Domain is not for development purposes and is only designed to White Label (or mask) the links generated for the features mentioned in the above article. 

Your API Domain will not function in replace of any API Documentation provided on https://developers.gohighlevel.com. Please use the endpoints exactly as provided if you are developing third-party integrations. We currently do not offer White Label API endpoints for API 2.0 or API 1.0.
