Enhanced Domains Overview

Overview 

Enhanced Domains are a new Salesforce feature that simplifies Salesforce URLs but also changes all current URLs. When this occurs, Salesforce will leave redirects on, redirecting requests from the old URLs to the new format. Do not turn 'redirects' OFF before using the audit tools described below.

Enhanced Domains will be required for sandboxes and non-production orgs in Winter '23 unless you enable an org-level setting that postpones their enforcement until Spring '23. Enhanced Domains will be required for production orgs and all other remaining orgs in Spring '23. For information on postponing enforcement for Sandboxes and non-production orgs, see the Salesforce Help and Training article Postpone the Enforcement of Enhanced Domains for Non-Production orgs.

The only package install that is required before Enhanced Domains is enabled is the Base package.

If you prefer to use our migration scripts to update your URLs, you need to upgrade Base, Email, and Events to the August '22 versions.

*Update* Please review the [Technical Alert] Enhanced Domain Scanner – Incorrect Updates Possible regarding possible incorrect updates before proceeding.

*Update* The September '22 release added support for pre-My Domain URL formats. If you have already run the Enhanced Domain tools to audit/update URLs, you should run them again as the tools now support pre-My Domain URL formats.

Important: To check if you are using Enhanced Domains, see How to tell if you are using Enhanced Domains. For more information, see Enabling Enhanced Domains for TargetX Tools Instructional Video.
