Setting up your DNS

Having a dedicated DNS entry for Northbeam improves our ability to track your customers when they return to your website after their first visit.

In your domain provider, you'll need to create an A Record, named i, pointing to a specific address you’ll find in your dashboard. This allows first-party tracking.

If the subdomain i is already mapped to something, please get in touch with us so we can help you pick a different subdomain name.

🚧

Content Security Policy

In order for the pixel to use this subdomain, your Content Security Policy (CSP) must explicitly or implicitly allow traffic to the i subdomain. Please make sure your CSP includes either:

• *.your-store.com, or
• i.your-store.com

in the connect-src of your CSP.

Examples

• www.my-store.com
  • Top-level domain: my-store.com
  • Create a DNS record for i.my-store.com
• try.my-product.com and get.my-product.com
  • Top-level domain: my-product.com
  • Create a DNS record for i.my-product.com

Instructions are available for multiple Domain providers

• Generic
• GoDaddy
• CloudFlare
