link his domain with?

so say he has the tenant subdomain xyz

now i want it so he can link his own domain

i am not sure if this is possible though i imagine it is given how many people have multitenant services on Vercel

perhaps cname record would work just fine but i havent tested

So you're basically providing a SaaS, and giving him a panel to add his domain?

essentially thats it

like shopify say where the user can link his own domain

Well, If you're using vercel, then you gotta tell the tenant to add vercel CNAME record

and use vercel api to add custom domain

but what would that do?

add the custom domain?

not sure what you mean by using the api to add a custom domain

xyz.domain.com would become tenantsdomain.com. but i am not sure if that is achieved by adding the domain on vercel

So vercel allows traffic through tenantsdomain.com

right but im just confused, if the app is running on a wildcard domain, how would adding a custom domain with the api make it so that tenantsdomain.com is the same as xyz.domain.com

i fail to see how that will achieve what i want but ill give it a try

@Giant panda any updates

i should be trying it soon

i didnt yesterday

i mean i think i hear you

i'm essentially just adding a domain

nothing more nothing less

than i'll be identifying the tenant by this domain. simple as that.

if your issue is resolved, you can mark this message as a solution

ive not tested fully yet, but i will if it works

Alright!

Do give me updates!

trying to

understand

how https://vercel.com/docs/rest-api/endpoints/projects#update-a-project-domain

this actually works

i keep passing name in the body but nothing happens, it doe snot update the domain

trying to update the project domain but of course it doesnt work for some reason

it says ability to update the domain but there is no way to do so

it seems i have to delete the domain if theres an update

at any rate

what an odd api

keeps telling me it is under a different scope

when it isnt

and in the code it tells me unsupported media type

i cant tell at all how to get the challenges

its all talked about in docs but it exists not

too bad

this is the problem

a certain domain may have this option

other times it'll be cname

and i cannot guess that

do you know by chance

is there some sort of webhook for vercel

that sends events when domain is verified etc

i guess not

@Giant panda If I'm right, if the path is @, then the record is A, otherwise the record is CNAME

havent had that experience

I did actually

i tried .xyz domain path is @ got an A record

You can try it out

.com domain path is @ got a cname

I'm not guessing, I've tested this

lemme see

ive no idea why

I'm talking about subdomain

well i dont have subdomains

if there is a subdomain, then its usually CNAME, otherwise A

I'll quickly verify it

and it seems with a custom domain for tenant

cloudflare is no longer enforced

I checked for @, its A, for other, its CNAME

Umm, they've to turn on proxy + change SSL settings

well all i know is i have the option add domain to the project

i add it

for one domain its cname

the other its A

i dont have an idea what you're talking about, that may be internally but i only add the domain

because its prob like www.domain.com (CNAME), and domain.com(A)

and yet every domain input is www.domain.com

but www.domain.xyz ends up with an a record

while www.domain.com ends up with cname

can you send a screenshot

while puting pen on the domain name

i cant. i do this with code

Sorry, I didn't get that

I just need a screenshot which shows subdomain www, and record A

you keep talking about subdomains

but i have none

i will send a screenshot though in a moment

If you have no subdomain, then yes, the record will be A

okay got it.

i think it'll work fine

though cloudflare wont

It's working indeed
