## What does nylas dashboard domains create do?

The nylas dashboard domains create command registers a domain in your active Dashboard organization. Use a free <subdomain>.nylas.email domain for Agent Account addresses, and pass --region us or --region eu to match the application region created during nylas init.

## Usage

```bash
nylas dashboard domains create [domain] --region <region>
```

## Flags

| Flag | Description |
| --- | --- |
| --json | Output as JSON |
| --no-color | Disable color output |
| --verbose(-v) | Enable verbose output |
| --config | Custom config file path |
| --help(-h) | Show help for the command |
| --limit | Limit results (most list commands) |
| --yes(-y) | Skip confirmations |
| --domain | Domain address to register |
| --name(-n) | Display name (defaults to the domain) |
| --region(-r) | Region to register in (required: us or eu) |

## Examples

### Register a US free domain

```bash
nylas dashboard domains create myagent.nylas.email --region us
```

### Register an EU free domain

```bash
nylas dashboard domains create myagent.nylas.email --region eu
```

### Create an Agent Account on that domain

```bash
nylas agent account create user@myagent.nylas.email
```

## Troubleshooting

### Region is required

Pass the same region as your active app. Use `nylas dashboard apps list` to confirm whether the app is in us or eu.

### Domain is already registered

Run `nylas dashboard domains check <domain>` to see which region already owns it, then choose a different subdomain if needed.
