Automatic DNS API endpoint

New feature

We’ve added a new API endpoint: apply automatic DNS. This endpoint can be called through a POST call to trigger the automatic DNS changes if configured in the account.

Each domain resource object now includes an automatic_dns resource. This indicates whether Automatic DNS is available for this domain and, if so, provides the URL to which the POST call should be sent to apply the DNS changes.

Serving a robots.txt file

New feature

We're happy to announce it's now possible to serve robots.txt files on your domains!

This can help block (bad) bots and get's you back in control how you want your domains to be indexed.

Serveral options are available:

  • No robots.txt (default)

  • Explicitly allow all

  • Block bad bots

  • Disallow all

  • Custom (Dedicated IP only)

Steer traffic based on monitoring results

New feature

We now include a monitoring destination variable to automatically steer traffic based on the destination’s status.

This can be particularly beneficial when your website is unavailable and you need to redirect your users to an alternative location.

For example, you can configure a dynamic destination using the expression monitoring.status == 'down' to lead visitors to the emergency landing page informing them that the website will be back up shortly. Once the website is back online, users are automatically redirected again to the primary destination.

Improved add/edit redirect interface

Improvement

We've made some improvements to the add/edit redirect page. Tags are now under the 'Add tag' button. And for an easier experience, you can click 'Add note' to add notes while you're creating or editing a redirect. This makes everything a bit more streamlined.

Notes on redirects

New feature

You can now add notes on your redirects. This can be helpfull to add reasoning why a redirect is needed and why it’s redirecting to a specific destination.

Notes can be added/maintained via the API as well. View our updated API docs here.

Notes on redirects

Regex for email forwarding

Improvement

We've added the ability to specify regexes to the 'alias' part of the email forward. This allows you to create complex email forwarding rules. You can match and pass along the capture group to the email destination.

Redirect flattening

New feature

With redirect flattening enabled, your redirects are delivered using only a single hop.

Redirect flattening will remove all extra redirect hops, and returns a singular response. This improves (SEO) performance.

Redirect flattening is a Pro and up feature and can be enabled on team level.

Billing receipt copy

Improvement

Team owners can now add 1 or multiple email adresses that receive a copy of the redirect.pizza subscription receipt.

Handy for sending the receipt directly to the finance department without having to forward it manually.
