We support proxying requests to support custom domains for the Web Stories platform in CleverPush. This way you can publish the stories via your own domain and benefit from the existing domain trust in Google.
Step 1: Set up domain in CleverPush Web Stories platform settings
Go to Channels > (select channel) > Web Stories > Settings.
Here we have 2 important settings:
The Stories Domain (should include www. if used) is the domain where your stories are published to.
Hint: You can ignore the „CNAME setup alert“ on the right side, as we will proxy requests instead of connecting the whole domain to CleverPush via a DNS record.
The URL prefix is the sub-directory of the proxied requests. If you want to publish stories under „https://example.com/stories/XXXX“ (where XXXX is the dynamic path of the story) you would need to enter „stories/“ in this option.
Step 2: Set up proxy
URL for Proxy Request:
https://api.cleverpush.com/story/(.*)?domain=example.com
The part (.*) is the dynamic slug/path of the story. It can be configured in the CleverPush story editor.
As an alternative to the „domain“ URL parameter, you can also enter the header „x-cleverpush-domain“ with the value „domain.de“.
Example URL:
https://api.cleverpush.com/story/reisgerichte-rezepte?domain=stories.bildderfrau.de
