Your domain name (such as www.yourorganization.com) connects your members and visitors to your Novi website. Before Novi can use a new domain or subdomain for your website, we’ll need to verify that you own it.
To complete this verification, you’ll need to add one or more TXT records to your DNS. The records you’ll need depend on the domain or subdomain you’ll be using for your Novi website.
📌 Important: If a third-party IT provider manages your DNS, make sure you or a trusted member of your staff also has access to your DNS settings. DNS changes can affect your website, email, and other services connected to your domain, so it’s important to maintain access even if someone else typically manages these settings.
Initial DNS Records
Please add the following TXT records to your DNS, or forward this to your technology person so they can do it for you.
These records allow Novi to verify your domain and securely prepare it for use with your Novi website.
CASE 1: Novi will run at www.yourdomain.org
Please add these two records:
Type | Host | Value |
TXT | asuid | 8970C5A8E6A7189132A8B3CB0A819F192C8892F57BD9949891DCE3953CDD4C27 |
TXT | asuid.www | 8970C5A8E6A7189132A8B3CB0A819F192C8892F57BD9949891DCE3953CDD4C27 |
CASE 2: Novi will NOT run at www.yourdomain.org
Add the record below with your desired subdomain for Novi in the Host field. Here are some common subdomains, but it could be anything you choose:
members.yourdomain.org
novi.yourdomain.org
portal.yourdomain.org
etc.
Type | Host | Value |
TXT | asuid.{subdomain} | 8970C5A8E6A7189132A8B3CB0A819F192C8892F57BD9949891DCE3953CDD4C27 |
Need Help With Your DNS?
If your organization doesn’t have someone who can manage these DNS changes, we recommend working with a qualified technology professional. Because your domain may also be connected to services such as email and other websites, DNS changes should be made carefully.
The Novi team can recommend technology service providers who can help. Visit our Consultants page for more information.
