Custom Platform URL
Branded URLs help identify your platform in a familiar way to your institution
CampusGroups allows the use of a Custom Platform URL, or Branded URL to better identify your platform to students, staff, faculty, alumni, and visitors.
This URL will replace base URL school.campusgroups.com URL in the address bar.
Formatting
Custom URLs have specific formatting requirements
-
Must include a subdomain: https://yoursubdomain.university.edu
-
Custom URLs must all be lower case.
Process
- Select the custom URL you would like to use
- Create a CNAME record in your DNS configuration
- Send the custom URL to Ready Education
- Ready Education will complete the setup and inform you when it is complete
DNS Configuration
A new CNAME record record will need to be created in your DNS configuration. This record must point from your Custom URL to your base CampusGroups URL
For example, if your CampusGroups instance is available at https://school.campusgroups.com and you would like to use https://custom.example.com as your custom url, you will need to create a CNAME record in your example.com DNS configuration:
custom IN CNAME school.campusgroups.com
The specific configuration settings will vary by DNS provider.
Timeline
Once we have your Custom URL, our team will enter this into our system. The automated creation and verification process takes several days to complete and validate. Our team will reach out once the process is complete and your new Custom URL has been verified and is in place.
