123 Reg

How to integrate 123 Reg with Webflow

The primary method to connect 123 Reg with Webflow involves DNS configuration. You can also use Webflow's native features and code embeds.

For advanced users, API integrations enable automated workflows and domain management at scale.

Use DNS configuration

Point your 123 Reg domain to Webflow by updating DNS records. This allows you to keep domain registration with 123 Reg while hosting your site on Webflow's infrastructure.

What you can do:

• Connect custom domains to Webflow sites
• Enable automatic SSL certificates through Webflow
• Maintain email hosting with 123 Reg while using Webflow for your website
• Set up multiple subdomains for different Webflow projects

To connect your domain:

1. Access your 123 Reg control panel and locate DNS settings
2. Add two A records pointing to 75.2.70.75 and 99.83.190.102
3. Add a CNAME record for www pointing to proxy-ssl.webflow.com
4. In Webflow, navigate to Settings > Publishing > Add a custom domain
5. Add both root and www versions of your domain

DNS propagation typically completes within a few hours but can take up to 48 hours globally.

Native features, direct embeds and widgets

Embed third-party services and widgets into your Webflow site without touching APIs. This method works for forms, calendars, booking systems, and other tools.

Common embeds include:

• Form builders like Jotform or Typeform via JavaScript or iFrame embed
• Analytics tracking through Google Analytics or Facebook Pixel
• Chat widgets from Intercom or similar services
• Booking calendars and scheduling tools

Add embeds using Webflow's Embed element:

1. Copy the embed code from your third-party service
2. In Webflow Designer, drag an Embed element onto your page
3. Paste the code and publish your site

The 10,000-character limit applies to embed elements. For larger scripts, use iFrame embeds or add code to site-wide custom code settings.

Build with Webflow and 123 Reg API

Create automated workflows between 123 Reg and Webflow using their respective APIs. This enables programmatic domain management and content synchronization.

Key capabilities:

• Automate DNS updates using 123 Reg's DNS management endpoints
• Sync domain data to Webflow CMS collections
• Create multi-domain workflows for agencies managing client sites
• Monitor domain status and trigger updates

Common API endpoints include:

• DNS record management: GET/POST/PUT/DELETE /domains/{domain}/dns-records
• Domain lifecycle: POST /domains/register, POST /domains/renew/{domain}
• Webflow CMS: POST /collections/{collection_id}/items for content creation

Automated DNS management

Build scripts that update DNS records when launching new Webflow sites. This removes manual configuration steps for agencies managing multiple domains.

Connect to 123 Reg's API to:

• List current DNS records
• Update A and CNAME records programmatically
• Monitor propagation status
• Trigger notifications when domains are connected

Pair this with Webflow's site publish API to create end-to-end automation from domain setup to site launch.

Domain portfolio synchronization

For agencies managing large domain portfolios, sync domain information to Webflow CMS collections. Display domain status, renewal dates, and configuration details on client dashboards.

Use webhooks to:

• Track domain renewals and updates
• Log DNS changes in Webflow CMS
• Create automated status pages
• Generate reports for clients
