Custom Domains and free SSL certificates from Let’s Encrypt
We’re excited to announce that Beep Boop now supports custom domain names and dynamically generated TLS/SSL certificates from Let’s Encrypt. We mean it; we’re excited; this was fun to implement 🤓. Custom domain allow you to host the website for your project along-side your Slack app as well as provide a more customized way to link to it. A common scenario is to surface links in Slack that link out to a webview. Having a custom domain name improves branding and consistency for your app.
It’s a simple two step process:
- Create a
CNAMErecord for your custom domain (e.g. slack.yourdomain.com) with your DNS provider set toproxy.beepboophq.com. - Go to the Settings tab of your project and set the Custom Domain setting.
That’s it. Open your browser to https://<your-custom-domain>. For more details see the docs and for a detailed walkthrough of the setup, we made this short video 🎥 🍿:
