Create in the dashboard

To create Bulk Redirects in the Cloudflare dashboard you must:

1. Create a Bulk Redirect List with one or more URL redirects.

Note

Bulk Redirects require that the incoming traffic for the hostname referenced in visitors’ requests is proxied by Cloudflare.

1. Create a Bulk Redirect List

1. Log in to the Cloudflare dashboard ↗ and select your account.

2. Go to Account Home > Bulk Redirects.

3. Under Bulk Redirect Lists, select Create Bulk Redirect List.

4. Enter a list name and description, and select Next.

5. You can import a CSV file containing several URL redirects or enter URL redirects one at a time in the dashboard.

8. Select Next.

Cloudflare will apply the following rules when you add items to an existing list (either manually or via CSV file):

• Do not remove any existing list items before updating/adding items.
• Update items that were already in the list.
