Setting Up

GoBrunch allows you to have a custom Sub Domain such as meeting.yourcompany.com/yourspace

Part 1

  1. Visit https://gobrunch.com/myevents.
  2. Ensure that you have already created the space that you want to link to the Domain or Sub Domain. If you haven't, you can start here https://gobrunch.com/main
  3. Copy the path on the space/room link, as you will need it to create the Sub Domain. For example, if your space URL is https://Gobrunch.com/event/1234, https://Gobrunch.com/event/land/1234 or https://Gobrunch.com/aaaa, you will need "event/1234", "event/land/1234 or "/aaaa" to create the Sub-domain in next part.

Part 2

  1. In your Domain Provider Admin Panel, create only a Type A Record that Redirects to the IP: 188.93.149.180. If you're using CloudFare, make sure to Uncheck Proxied.
  2. DOMAIN OR SUB-DOMAIN
    1. FOR ASSIGNING THE ENTIRE DOMAIN, ADD JUST 1 RECORD AS BELOW SHOW AS @
    2. FOR ASSIGNING A SUB-DOMAIN, ADD JUST 1 RECORD AS BELOW SHOWN AS SUBDOMAIN.DOMAIN.COM

Part 3

  1. Access your Account page https://gobrunch.com/myaccount
  2. Scroll down to the bottom of the page and locate the CNAME Panel.
  3. In the provided CNAME box, enter your domain or subdomain name. This can be yourDomain.com or subdomain.yourdomain.com. No need to add Https.
  4. Fill in the Space Link box with the desired path (e.g., /events/123456 or /events/land/123456) that you want to set as the landing room for your root domain. For example, whenever someone joins subdomain.yourdomain.com, they will be directed to this specific room.
  5. To add your logo, click on the Upload button. Each Sub domain can have its own unique logo.
  6. Once you have entered all the necessary information, click on the Create button to create your CNAME.

After successfully adding your Sub domain, the Panel table will be updated with the details you provided.

Important: Make sure to disable Ads Blockers or the confirmation message won't show.

If you need to make any changes or edits:

    1. To modify the SpaceLink, enter the new path and click on Save.
    2. To replace the logo, click on Upload and select the new logo file.
    3. To delete the sub-domain or domain, click on Delete. Note that this won't delete your Space.

Part 4

  1. Locate and click on your CNAME URL in the CNAME panel table.
  2. You will be redirected to the space in another tab.
  3. IMPORTANT: CLICK ON Login with E-mail in order to Login as Admin in your Space.
  4. You'll be taken to the meeting room
  5. Take a seat
  6. Copy the URL
  7. Your Sub domain is now live and ready to be shared with your attendees.
  8. If you wish to access the Dashboard, simply visit [YourSubdomain/main]. For example, if your Sub domain is meeting.yourcompany.com, visit meeting.yourcompany.com/main or if your CNAME is mymeet.company.com, visit mymeet.company.com/main.

Managing Multiple Sub-domains

Managing multiple sub-domains in GoBrunch requires individual logins for each one. Here’s a straightforward guide on how to efficiently manage and navigate between your GoBrunch sub-domains.

Accessing Events Across Sub-Domains

No matter which sub-domain you're currently logged into, you can view all your events by navigating to subdomain/myevents. This universal access point makes it easy to keep track of your activities across different sub-domains.

Logging Into Individual Sub-Domains

Each sub-domain in GoBrunch requires a separate login. Here’s how you can manage this process:

Initial Login to a Sub-Domain

  1. Navigate to your desired sub-domain, subdomain1/main.
  2. Click on "Sign out" at the top right corner of the page.
  3. Click on "Login".
  4. Enter your email and password, then click submit to access your space.
  5. Once logged in, you can join your space and you won’t need to log in again to this sub-domain until you sign out.

Switching to Another Sub-Domain

  1. To log into another sub-domain, go to subdomain2/main.
  2. Repeat the logout and login process:
    • Click on "Sign out" at the top right corner.
    • Click on "Login".
    • Type your email and password, then submit to join your space.
  3. After this, you won’t need to log into this sub-domain again unless you sign out.

This method ensures that you maintain separate sessions in each sub-domain, allowing for better management and organization of your spaces in GoBrunch.

Understanding Space Visibility Across Sub-Domains on GoBrunch

When you create spaces on GoBrunch, they are listed across all sub-domains without any filtering by sub-domain. This means that any space you create can be accessed from any GoBrunch sub-domain.

Here are some key points to understand:

  1. Universal Access: All spaces created on GoBrunch are universally accessible. For example, if you create a space within your specific sub-domain, it will also be visible from the main GoBrunch site (gobrunch.com).

  2. First Room Association: Associating a space with your sub-domain will always direct your attendees to the first room of your space. This ensures a consistent entry point for all visitors, but it also means that customizing the URL is not necessary, unless you have multiple spaces per sub-domain.

  3. Sub-Domain URL Customization: If you choose to customize the URL Slug of your space from within your sub-domain, we advise caution. Customizing the URL Slugs can cause your space to no longer be accessible from gobrunch.com. Additionally, it might redirect users to a different space entirely, leading to confusion and potential accessibility issues.

  4. Best Practices: To ensure seamless access and avoid any issues, we recommend not customizing your space URL Slugs from within sub-domains. Keeping the default URL Slugs will maintain the visibility and accessibility of your spaces across all GoBrunch sub-domains.
