I am not getting what everything is telling me I should be getting. Can someone shed some light on what I am doing wrong so I can have subdomains using my custom url sendmetraveling.com that is assigned to my branches staging-initial and staging-final?
Hi Rob, welcome to the Netlify community,
Are you using Netlifyâs DNS hosting for the sendmetraveling domain?
If not, this article might help you figure out how to set that up.

I am using Netlifys domain servers
Interesting, I see the DNS servers as Netlify
But your site is resolving to Digital Ocean
But I doubt that has anything to do with the issue.
Yeah, thats what the docs say to do.
That is an IP address we currently use. The Digitial Ocean IP address is for one of our CDN nodes so this does look like the Managed DNS is working correctly.
For this to work, first there must be a normal branch deploy for these branch (not a pull request âdeploy previewâ deploy). Right now, Iâm not seeing the ânormalâ branch deploys for this site here.
There is more documentation about how to make the ânormalâ branch deploys and add the subdomain here: Branch subdomains.
If these instructions donât work as promised and/or there are any other questions, we are always happy to follow-up and/or answer.

So the normal branch that is deployed is the master branch.
In one of the screenshots above, it shows that I have the continuous deployment set up to deploy a site for the master branch and staging final and staging initial.
The .toml file I have also uses the context.branch phrasing that is in the docs as well.
The issue is that âNew SubDomainâ button is not appearing on the page for me (as shown in the above screenshotâs)
This is what my .toml file looks like in every branch. There are 4 branches other than the master branch.
[build]
base = "/sendmetraveling/"
publish = "/sendmetraveling/build/"
command = "yarn build"
[context.branch-deploy]
command = "make staging"
Hi @rob84044,
You need to successfully deploy a branch deploy in order to have a URL for it. The master branch is your production branch so itâs not a separate branch deploy. You have several other branches like this one but these builds have failed so they donât get branch subdomains.
The error I see in that branch build is:
You need to resolve the build issues with your branches so that you can have branch subdomains.

Ok, thatâs a good direction to go in, but I am still at a loss of what I need to do or how to do it.
@futuregerald I thought this branch deploy would meet the criteria, so I was at a loss for what direction this should go in and why it did not work.
Your netlify.toml file has make staging as the command for a branch deploy, but you have no Makefile in your repo so make doesnât know what to do with the make staging command youâve given it, hence the âNo rule to make target âstagingââ error I think.
At a guess youâve copied that from somewhereâŚ? You can either replace make staging with yarn build as per your âdefaultâ command or, I think, remove the whole context.branch-deploy section entirely.
