The Domain Allow List is a list of website domains your Feathr links are allowed to send people to. When someone clicks a link in your Feathr emails, pages, or ads, Feathr checks the link's domain against this list. Adding a domain makes sure clicks to it go through as intended.

What is the Domain Allow List?
The Domain Allow List tells Feathr which domains your links may send people to. Feathr tracks clicks on the links in your campaigns. As part of that, Feathr's security systems check where each link goes. If a link goes to a domain that isn't on your list, Feathr can block the click, and the person sees a Domain Not Authorized page instead of your content.
For example, say your newsletter links to a report stored on Google Drive. If drive.google.com is on your allow list, everyone who clicks the link reaches the report.
How to add a domain
- In the left navigation menu, click Account Settings.
- Under Account, click Domain Allow List.
- In the Allowed Domains card, click Add domain.
- Type the domain exactly as it appears in your link, without https:// or a page path. For example, enter drive.google.com.
- Click Save changes.
To remove a domain, click the remove icon next to it, type DELETE to confirm, and then click Save changes.
Which domains should I allow?
Add every domain your Feathr links point to, including your own website. This matters most for newsletters that link to outside news, research, or files, like the Google Drive report in the example above.
Feathr adds some domains for you. When you save an email or page template, Feathr adds the domain of every link in it to your allow list. Check the list when you link to a new domain from somewhere else, such as an ad.
Common Questions
Is the Domain Allow List the same as authenticating my domain?
No. The Domain Allow List only controls which domains your links may send people to. Authenticating your domain, also called connecting a domain, sets up your content domain and email sending domain so Feathr can send your emails and host your pages under your own name. You do that under Account Settings > Account > Domains. Adding a domain to your allow list does not authenticate it. Learn how to connect your domain.
What happens if someone clicks a link to a domain that isn't on my list?
Feathr can block the click and show a Domain Not Authorized page. Add the domain to your list and click Save changes, and the link will work. Learn more about link warnings.
Does adding example.org also allow www.example.org?
No. Feathr matches the full domain, so add each version your links use. For example, drive.google.com and docs.google.com are separate entries.
Do I need to add Feathr's domains?
No. Feathr's own domains, such as l.feathr.co, are always allowed. They don't appear in your list.
