Q: Without CNAME/Cutom Domain, It's a Dealbreaker :-(

Hopefully ZCAL can "read the room" and understand that CNAME is highly desired feature with the LTDs on AppSumo. Without this feature, sales will surely suffer. Hopefully you guys can prioritize and include very soon; as in the next week or two.

A: Hi - CNAME/custom domain is on our longer term roadmap, unfortunately it will not be in the product within the next week or two. This is a new feature we are discussing internally, we aren't sure what tier this CNAME functionality will be included in yet.

CNAME should be available a s a PRO Feature within ALL Tier Levels ;)

Agreed - it doesn't cost them anymore and I have multiple appsumo one tier deals with CNAME

Woohoo....that is the best news ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Any sense on timing? As you already know, this is an immensely desired feature in our community :-)

One key opportunity for growth here is adding CNAME and custom domain support. It’s no secret that this is a top priority for Sumolings—consistently ranking as a ‘must-have’ feature in surveys and across community discussions. Implementing this feature could significantly boost your sales and make your product much more appealing to a wider audience. This could be a total game-changer for you!

There is no point in having a 50-seat offer without CNAME. I don't know any business owner who would buy a booking tool for their entire team and host it on a relatively unknown startup's URL. It's a major brand and business perception issue.

That's on point and precisely the major reason why CNAME is highly desired.

Do you mind if I ask what your use case for CNAME/Custom domains is? We're in the early stages of looking into it.
If we add support for CNAME and SMTP in the future, it’s possible we may offer them on a different tier. If we do, we will do another AppSumo campaign where you will have the opportunity to upgrade from your current tier.

Trust & kind of "White-Labeling"

Yes +1 CNAME is a must for top tier purchases.

Agreed. Without CNAME, this deal unfortunately will go the way of the dodo birds.

I would love to see this in Tier Two if possible.

Any new updates on CNAME; timing, Tier, etc.?

Hoping that this is implemented too as it was the main reason why I didn't purchase when it was initially available

I purchased tier 3 of Zcal in Appsumo. Need to know about Multiple Workspaces, CNAME and SMTP. Without all of these, I won't be able to use it. And I need to be able to create more workspaces. Each workspace will need to be able to have it's own CNAME (URL) and SMTP controls.

Will these be possible "soon" and at "no additional cost???"
