Want to setup a subdomain for example “brand.mysite.com”

 

Despite Figma saying this is possible we would need an A record in order to do this, however there is no A record?

Hi ​@Zach923 , thanks for flagging this and sorry for this issue!
From the backend, I can see that you have already reached out to the support team. They are waiting for your response for further investigation. Please check your inbox when you have a moment 🙏🏼

For others who may encounter similar issues, here are some steps and general guidance you can try to see if that helps:

  • Verify DNS Records: Ensure that you have added the correct TXT and CNAME records to your DNS settings. Double-check for any typos or incorrect values, as even small errors can cause issues.

  • Check for Conflicting Records: Look for any conflicting DNS settings, such as multiple CNAME records for the same subdomain or an existing AAAA (IPv6) record on your apex domain. If you're using an A record, remove any conflicting AAAA records.

  • DNS Propagation: Keep in mind that DNS changes can take some time to propagate across the internet. If you've recently made changes, it might be worth waiting a bit and checking back later.

  • SSL Certificates: Figma automatically provisions SSL certificates for custom domains. This process usually takes up to 15 minutes, but can sometimes take longer. If you're still waiting after 30 minutes, check if you have any CAA DNS records configured and ensure they allow certificates from Google Trust Services, Let's Encrypt, and SSL.com.

For a detailed guide on connecting a custom domain to your Figma site, you can refer to this guide: Manage a custom domain for your site

Still, if the issue persists, we recommend reaching out to our support team by filling out this form: Submit a report. Thank you!

Error 1000

DNS points to prohibited IP 

 

Currently this is what happens when we click on our subdomain we used Cloudflare for the DNS records to original domain.

I have been waiting almost a week now for my SSL cert for my custom sub-domain.  There are no issues with my DNS and I am just hearing crickets from support.  Can I get some help please?
