API Stability Preview

The addSubdomain() GraphQL mutation is used to add a subdomain to the organization. Becomes primary subdomain if no primary has been set, and secondary otherwise. This is a preview and subject to change.

To set initially sub-domains, you might use instead the setSubdomainSettings() mutation. Afterwards, to set a sub-domain to the primary one, use the setPrimarySubdomain() mutation — which changes an existing primary sub-domain to a secondary. To remove a secondary, use removeSecondarySubdomain(). To enforce sub-domains, use setEnforceSubdomains().
