# Custom Redirect URL

> Setup Custom redirect for a more professional look.

# What is a Custom Domain?

A Custom Domain is a domain name that you can use as a redirect\_url for your custom bot. This allows you to use your own domain name instead of the RestoreCord domain name.

# Why is it important?

Discord is still able to link all RestoreCord bots together, even if you use a custom bot. This is because RestoreCord previously used the same domain name for all bots. This means that if you use a custom domain, you will be able to hide the fact that you are using RestoreCord.

<Note>
  Cloudflare is required to use custom domain. If you use something else, we
  highly suggest switching over to Cloudflare.
</Note>

<Steps>
  <Step title="Adding Cloudflare">
    <Info>Create an account if required.</Info>

    > First, head over to Cloudflare Dashboard and add a new site

    </Frame>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set up Page Rules">
    <Warning>You can use a subdomain instead if your main domain is already in use, such as `verify.domain.com`</Warning>

    > Once you have **added** your domain name to Cloudflare, click on the **Page Rules** button in the **Sidebar**.

    <Frame>

    </Frame>

    > We will be creating **2 different page rules**. *(There are 2 tabs below!)*

    <Tabs>
      <Tab title="Redirect /verify">

          <img src="https://mintlify.s3-us-west-1.amazonaws.com/restorecord/images/custom-redirect_1.png" />
        </Frame>

        ```text URL:
          https://domain.com/verify/*
        ```

        ```text Enter destination URL:
          https://restorecord.com/verify/$1
        ```
      </Tab>

      <Tab title="Redirect /api/callback">

          <img src="https://mintlify.s3-us-west-1.amazonaws.com/restorecord/images/custom-redirect_2.png" />
        </Frame>

        ```text URL:
          https://domain.com/api/callback?code=*&state=*
        ```

        ```text Enter destination URL:
          https://restorecord.com/api/callback?code=$1&state=$2
        ```
      </Tab>
    </Tabs>

    <Note>Click **Save Page Rule**</Note>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Switching to your Custom Domain">
    > Go to [RestoreCord Dashboard](https://restorecord.com/dashboard/custombots), edit your custom bot and enter your custom domain settings without `https://`.

    <Frame>
      <img src="https://mintlify.s3-us-west-1.amazonaws.com/restorecord/images/custom-redirect_3.png" />
    </Frame>

    > Then head over to [Discord Developer Page](https://discord.com/developers/applications/), `Your Custom Bot` > `oAuth2` > `General` and change `restorecord.com` to `domain.com`

    <Frame>
      <img src="https://mintlify.s3-us-west-1.amazonaws.com/restorecord/images/custom-redirect_4.png" />
    </Frame>
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Check>You have succesfully added your custom domain to RestoreCord.</Check>

## Troubleshooting

<Steps>
  <Step title="Domain already in use">
    > As mentioned above, if you **don't want** to use your main domain because you're **already using it** for a different service or website, then you may **replace** `domain.com` with something like `verify.domain.com`.

    <Warning>Make sure to replace `domain.com` with `verify.domain.com` everywhere aswell</Warning>
  </Step>

  <Step title="This site can't be reached">
    <Frame>
      <img src="https://mintlify.s3-us-west-1.amazonaws.com/restorecord/images/custom-redirect_site-cant-be-reached.png" />
    </Frame>

    > This usually happens if the domain you're currently using **does not have any DNS records on Cloudflare**.

    > To solve this issue, **create a new `CNAME` record:**
