The problem it solves

Every time someone needs a new subdomain, they have to wait on a developer or IT person to set it up manually. That back-and-forth slows down small, routine requests that shouldn't need a ticket.

Who it fits

Development teams or small IT departments managing domains on GoDaddy.

How it works

  1. An email request comes in asking to create or delete a subdomain
  2. The system reads the email and pulls out the subdomain name and requested action
  3. It checks whether the request is to create or delete
  4. GoDaddy's system carries out the request
  5. You get an email reply confirming success or failure
What you get

Subdomains created from a single email request

Send an email requesting a subdomain and it gets created or removed automatically, with a reply confirming it's done.

What you get

A created or deleted subdomain, plus an email confirming what happened.

What you need

A GoDaddy account with API access and an email account for sending and receiving requests.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.
