A main address for a Chirp

When you're done, your Chirp's links point to your own domain.

Who can do this: the account owner on the Creator, Business or Academy plan, with a domain that's Connected in the Chirp's workspace and within the plan. Until then the box doesn't show. See Use your own domain.

Choose it

1. In the editor, under 8. Sharing, open Main address and choose your domain.

   

2. Click Save. It applies straight away, with no publishing.

What changes

• Copy link gives https://your-domain/its-web-address.
• The code in Embed uses your domain.
• The Chirp Builder link sends visitors to your domain, an access code in the link included. The Share window still shows the Chirp Builder link, and it works: visitors end up on your domain.

Collections have the same Main address setting in their editor. Their address becomes https://your-domain/collection/its-address.

Without a main address, the Chirp works at its Chirp Builder link and on each of the workspace's domains. The editor lists those as "On your domain: …".

Good to know

• Browsers remember the switch. If you later change or clear the main address, people who visited before may be sent to the old address for a while.
• Removing the domain clears the main address, and website code that uses the domain stops working.
• It's ignored while the domain isn't connected, when it falls outside your plan's domains, or if your plan changes to Essentials.
• Moving the Chirp to another workspace clears it: see Move a Chirp to another workspace.
