Linking the Subdomain to NotLuck CRM

Once your subdomain is set up, link it to NotLuck CRM to make sure traffic routes correctly.

Access Domain Settings

From your account dashboard, go to "Settings" > "Domains", then click "Connect a Domain."

Next, choose the option to connect the domain to a funnel, website, store, blog, or webinar.

Add New Domain

Enter the full domain/subdomain URL (e.g., "blogs.example.com") and click "Continue".

Initiate Record Verification

Click "Verify Records" to start the verification process. Allow up to 10 minutes for this to complete.
