Domain forwarding allows you to forward your ClickFunnels purchased domains inside of your ClickFunnels account by taking your URL and redirecting it to your destination URL. For example,  take domainname.com/path and redirect it to google.com. 

Definition of domain forwarding: Redirecting requests on the Internet to a different Internet address. For example, domain forwarding allows multiple domain names to be registered, all of which point to the same website.  *from PC Mag

Important Note: Patterns are also known as the domain you are forwarding from, if you'd like to forward a specific funnel on this domain for example then you would enter mydomain.com/funnel1 including the path name for that funnel. Learn More About Funnel URLs

  3. If you turn on Exact matching this will disable partial matching and only match exact URLs (optional).
    For example, if Exact is active only if is put in exactly as cfsupportisamazing.com/1 will go to bing.com, however, if Exact is off then any path after the URL will go to be eg: cfsupportisamazing.com/1go or cfsupportisamazing.com/134325 will go to bing.com.
