You can use your own domain (e.g., reports.youragency.com) for your white-label WorkDuo Client Portal by adding a CNAME record in your DNS provider.
Step 1 — Choose Your Subdomain
Pick the subdomain you want to use, such as:
- reports.yourdomain.com
- dashboard.yourdomain.com
- client.yourdomain.com
- portal.yourdomain.com
Any subdomain works as long as it’s not already in use.
Step 2 — Log In to Your DNS Provider
Open the DNS manager from your domain host. This could be:
- GoDaddy
- Cloudflare
- Namecheap
- Google Domains / Google Cloud DNS
- AWS Route 53
- Squarespace / Wix
- Any domain registrar
Look for DNS, DNS Settings, Zone Editor, or DNS Management.
Step 3 — Add a New CNAME Record
Create a CNAME record with the details below:
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Type | CNAME |
| Name / Host | <your subdomain> (e.g., reports) |
| Target / Points To | portal-domains.myworkduo.ai |
| TTL | Default (Auto or 300 seconds) |
Note: by default the portal is serviced from a US located server. if you prefer it serve from another location please use these Target / Points To Values:
| Location | Target / Points To Values |
|---|---|
| United States (default) | portal-domains.myworkduo.ai |
| Singapore | portal-domains-sg.myworkduo.ai |
| Japan | portal-domains-jp.myworkduo.ai |
| Korea | portal-domains-kr.myworkduo.ai |
| Ireland (for Europe Customers | portal-domains-ie.myworkduo.ai |
Example
If your desired portal domain is: reports.yourdomain.com
Then your DNS record should look like:
| Type | Name | Value |
|---|---|---|
| CNAME | reports | portal-domains.myworkduo.ai |
Important Notes:
- Do not include
https://orwww.— only the hostname. - If you use Cloudflare, set the proxy to DNS Only (gray cloud).
Proxying (orange cloud) may interfere with SSL.
Step 4 — Save the Record and Allow for DNS Propagation
After saving the CNAME, it may take some time for DNS changes to propagate.
Typical propagation time:
- Most providers: a few minutes
- Worst case: up to 24–48 hours
You can use tools like whatsmydns.net to check propagation globally.
Step 5 — Configure the Domain in WorkDuo
Inside your WorkDuo dashboard:
Workspace → Client Portal → Config and Branding → Custom Domain
- Enter your custom domain (e.g.,
reports.yourdomain.com) - Click Save
Once the CNAME is correctly set up, WorkDuo will automatically provision an SSL certificate to enable https.
SSL activation normally completes within 1–10 minutes after verification.
Step 6 — You're All Set!
Your Client Portal is now accessible at your custom domain.
If verification is stuck or your SSL shows as “pending” for more than 1 hour, please reach out to [email protected] for assistance.
