Custom Tracking Domain

By default, tracking links in your emails use Score CRM's shared domain. A custom tracking domain replaces that with your own branded subdomain — like track.yourcompany.com.

Why Bother?

Without Custom DomainWith Custom Domain
Links show track.scorecrm.comLinks show track.yourcompany.com
Shared with other Score CRM usersExclusively yours
If another user sends spam, the shared domain's reputation affects youYour reputation is your own
Some spam filters flag shared tracking domainsYour own domain is more trusted by inbox providers

Bottom line: It takes 10 minutes to set up and meaningfully improves your deliverability. Do it before you start sending at scale.

Setup (3 Steps)

1. Pick a Subdomain

Choose a subdomain you'll use for tracking. Good options:

  • track.yourcompany.com
  • click.yourcompany.com
  • email.yourcompany.com

Don't use your main domain (yourcompany.com) — always use a subdomain.

2. Add It in Score CRM

  1. Go to Organization Settings → Tracking Domains
  2. Click Add Domain
  3. Enter your subdomain (e.g., track.yourcompany.com)
  4. Click Save

Score CRM will show you a CNAME target to point to.

3. Add a DNS Record

At your DNS provider (GoDaddy, Cloudflare, Namecheap, Route53, etc.), add this record:

TypeNameValue
CNAMEtrack (or whatever subdomain you chose)The CNAME target shown in Score CRM (e.g., scre.to)

After saving, Score CRM automatically provisions an SSL certificate for your domain via Cloudflare. This usually takes 5–15 minutes, but DNS propagation can take up to a few hours.

Checking Status

Back in Score CRM, your domain will show one of these statuses:

StatusWhat It Means
PendingDNS record found, SSL certificate being provisioned
VerifiedEverything's working — your emails will use this domain
FailedSomething went wrong (see troubleshooting below)

Once verified, all future campaigns automatically use your custom domain for tracking links. No extra configuration needed.

Troubleshooting

ProblemFix
Stuck on "Pending" for hoursDouble-check your CNAME record is correct. Make sure there's no conflicting A record for the same subdomain. DNS propagation can take up to 48 hours in rare cases.
Status shows "Failed"Usually a DNS misconfiguration. Delete the domain in Score CRM, fix the DNS record, and re-add it.
Emails still using old tracking domainThe domain must be in "Verified" status. Check your domain status in Organization Settings.
