Understand the Exceptions in URL Routing
When your org adopts Salesforce Salesforce Edge Network, your My Domain URLs are routed through it. However, review these exceptions.
- URLs that contain your Salesforce instance name.
- URLs associated with custom domains, such as https://www.example.com, that serve your org’s Salesforce sites or Experience Cloud sites and don’t use the HTTPS option: Serve the domain with your HTTPS certificate on Salesforce servers.
- Salesforce sites and Experience Cloud sites with domains ending in .force.com.
- URLs associated with Customer 360 Data Manager that end with .admin.salesforce-hub.com and .my.salesforce-hub.com.
- URLs associated with Live Agent Chat that end with .my.salesforcescrt.com.
- URLs associated with untrusted content domains.
- URLs associated with orgs in Government Isolated Architecture (GIA) data centers.
Route Custom Domains Through Salesforce Edge Network
All your custom domains that serve your Experience Cloud, Digital Experiences, or Salesforce sites, such as https://www.example.com, can route through the Salesforce Edge Network. Review what’s needed to maintain domain availability based on your domain configuration option.
- With the Serve the domain with your HTTPS certificate on Salesforce
servers option, Salesforce automatically manages HTTPS delivery and routing
for your domain by using Salesforce Edge Network. To determine whether your qualifying
custom domain uses Salesforce Edge Network, inspect the domain’s HTTP response headers or
resolve the domain name to look for references to
edge. - With the Use a third-party service or CDN to serve the domain
option, the routing path uses a third-party CDN. Work with your third-party provider to
update the target host name. If you don’t update the target host name, your domain doesn’t
get the always-on threat protection provided by Salesforce Edge Network. Third-party
services use a target hostname to point your domain to your org. To find the target host
name for your custom domain, from Setup, in the Quick Find box, enter
My Domain, and then select My Domain. Select the custom domain. On the Domain Detail page, review the Target Hostname.Work with your third-party provider to update the target host name. If you don’t update the target host name, your domain doesn’t get the always-on threat protection provided by Salesforce Edge Network.
Routing Considerations for Sandboxes
Review how sandbox refreshes and environment inheritance affect your Salesforce Edge Network routing configurations.
- Because the org ID changes, a sandbox refresh disables Regional routing. If your production org uses Regional routing, re-enable it from the My Domain Setup page after every refresh. To know more about Regional Routing, see Route My Domain Through Salesforce Edge Network.
- If Global Selective Routing is required for custom domains, enable it in the production org before creating or refreshing associated sandboxes. Sandboxes inherit the production org’s routing settings for custom domains. To know more about Global Selective Routing, see Route My Domain Through Salesforce Edge Network.
