Create domain aliasing in 123FormBuilder

You can create a domain alias for the 123FormBuilder domain URL if you are a Platinum user or higher. It’s commonly referred to as domain aliasing (or domain mapping). This way, the form link you share with users will contain your own custom domain and no reference to the 123FormBuilder form builder.

In order to set up a domain alias, you first need to create a subdomain on your own domain. Then you will need to add new CNAME records to your DNS.

Once you set up your subdomain, all you need to do is to contact us and specify which subdomain you would like to use on your forms. (e.g forms.yourdomain.com).

After the procedure is done on our end, you will receive two CNAME records (one for the subdomain, and another one representing an SSL certificate). Set up your subdomain to point to the two CNAME records in order to establish the connection.

Finally, go to your form’s Publish → Link → Options section, tick on Use your domain, and enter the subdomain.

Domain aliasing in 123FormBuilder

The subdomain is now active. The form URL has been replaced with the domain alias in all of the publishing options and it is secured. Copy/paste the form code normally. Your subdomain will be used instead of our domain name from now on.

Important Notes

  • CNAME records require time to propagate. The propagation time depends on your hosting service. It can take up to 2 days.
  • The SSL certificate is provided by us, free of charge.

  1. Where is the “Get code & publish” section on 123FormBuilder? I am a Platinum user, and am not finding that on my dashboard or in any of my forms

    1. Hello Bob,
      In your account, in My Forms section right next to the Dashboard, when you click Edit on any form you want to publish, the editor opens up and you have 5 sections in the top left corner: Edit, Settings, Publish, Submissions, Reports.
      In the Publish section you can find the code and use it to publish your forms on your web site.
      If you need further assistance on this matter please contact us at support@123formbuilder.com.

  2. HI,
    My domain aliasing doesn’t seem to be working. It has been over 48 hours. I have triple checked everything, and it is all the same. I set the CNAME record up for feedback.thesavingscentre.com.au and 123formbuilder.com and I have copied the feedback.thesavingscentre.com.au into the Domain Aliasing section of 123 forms. What am I doing wrong?
