How can I use my own domain when sharing a Notion Form?
Notion has proven its mettle as a robust project management and organizational tool, augmenting its utility with an in-house form builder. While Notion's form capabilities are valuable, NoteForms takes a significant stride ahead by empowering users to employ their custom domain for form customization and brand amplification. This feature bolsters your brand's visibility, ensuring that your forms mirror your distinct identity and contribute to a polished and professional brand image. By effortlessly weaving your custom domain into the fabric of NoteForms, a unified brand experience is created, resonating deeply with your audience. Each interaction thus becomes more potent, reinforcing your brand's message and enhancing the overall user experience. This strategic integration of your custom domain not only personalizes your forms but also aligns them with your broader branding efforts, making NoteForms a pivotal tool in your digital branding arsenal.
Why?
Utilizing a custom domain for your forms allows you to establish trust with your users and customers, enhancing the credibility of your brand. Additionally, promoting your brand through a custom domain aids in marketing and promotional efforts.
Utilizing your own domain in your form implementation serves several important purposes:
1)Enhanced Credibility: By using your personal domain, you instill confidence in your form users, leading to improved credibility and trustworthiness.
2)Brand Promotion: A custom domain helps strengthen your brand identity and recognition. It allows you to align your forms with your overall branding strategy, fostering brand consistency and professionalism.
Steps to add a custom domain

2. Log into NoteForms: Access your NoteForms account and click on your profile picture located in the top-right corner.
3. Navigate to Settings: From the dropdown menu, select "Settings" to access the account settings page.
4. Custom Domain: In the account settings page, locate the "Custom Domain" section.
5. Enter Your Custom Domain: Enter your custom domain (e.g., your.domain.com) in the provided field.
6. Save: Click on the "Save" button to apply the changes. Note that it may take a few minutes for the domain configuration to propagate.
That's it! Your forms will now be hosted on your custom domain, maintaining the functionality of your previous NoteForms URLs. Enjoy the personalized experience and seamless branding for your form users.
