Sites

Get started

1. Create a site

   Open Sites and click + next to the Sites tab. Give the site a name. Pathline creates a public link right away.

2. Add pages

   Open the site and add pages from the Pages panel. Each page gets a URL slug (for example /contact). The first page is your home page.

3. Edit and publish

   Click a page to open the HTML editor. Write code or preview as you go, then publish when the page is ready. Draft pages stay private until you publish them.

4. Use images

   Upload images on Sites → Media library. Copy each image URL into your page HTML. Uploaded images count toward Site media on your storage usage.

Pathline link

Before you add a custom domain, visitors reach your site on a Pathline link such as app.pathline.io/a1b2 (your workspace hostname plus a short site code). This link works immediately and stays available after you connect a custom domain.

On the site detail screen, open Public link to copy or open the live URL.

Custom domains

Connect a domain you own (for example example.com) so visitors see your brand instead of the Pathline link. Pathline handles DNS, SSL, and routing for both the apex domain and www.

1. Add the domain

   Open your site on Sites. In Custom domain, enter the apex domain (for example example.com, not www.example.com) and click Add.

2. Delegate DNS to Pathline

   Pathline shows four nameservers. At your domain registrar, replace the domain’s nameservers with the values Pathline gives you. This points DNS for the whole domain to Pathline so we can issue SSL and route traffic.

   Nameserver changes can take up to 48 hours to propagate worldwide, though many registrars update within a few hours.

3. Check setup

   After updating nameservers, click Check setup on the site. Pathline verifies delegation, requests an SSL certificate, and configures routing for example.com and www.example.com.

4. Go live

   When setup is complete, the status shows Live. Your site is served on your custom domain with HTTPS. The Pathline link continues to work as a fallback.

Setup statuses

• Waiting for nameservers — Pathline has not detected your registrar change yet. Confirm the nameservers match exactly, wait for propagation, then click Check setup again.
• Setting up SSL — DNS is delegated; Pathline is validating the certificate.
• Finishing routing — Certificate is ready; Pathline is attaching your domain to hosting.
• Live — Your domain is active. Nameserver records move into a collapsible section on the site detail page.
• Setup failed — Something blocked setup. Try Check setup again or contact support if it persists.

Remove a domain

To disconnect a custom domain, click Remove domain on the site. Pathline deletes the hosted zone and SSL certificate for that domain. Your site remains available on its Pathline link.

Domains

After you add a custom domain, open Sites → Domains to view and edit records in your Route 53 zone. Click a domain to open its DNS settings — Pathline fetches the latest records from AWS each time.

• Add record — create A, AAAA, CNAME, TXT, MX, or CAA records for your domain.
• Edit or delete — change your own records anytime. Pathline-managed records (routing and SSL) are read-only.

You can also open a domain from a site’s row menu on the Sites list, or from the site detail page once a custom domain is connected.

Access

Sites are available to workspace owners and admins with integrations access. Members do not see Sites in the sidebar. See Team permissions for the full chart.
