These docs shows how to add the CNAME and TXT records required to configure a custom authentication domain (e.g., for magic‑link emails, smart links, etc.) with Rownd. Each example uses:
- CNAME: points
<YOUR_CUSTOM_DOMAIN> to your Rownd subdomain (<ROWND_SUBDOMAIN>).
- TXT: creates a verification record at
<TXT_RECORD_HOSTNAME> with the token <VERIFICATION_TOKEN>.
