How to integrate OVH with Webflow

Use your existing OVH domain with Webflow hosting, or build automated workflows that connect OVH's cloud infrastructure with your Webflow site. This integration combines OVH's domain management, object storage, and CI/CD tools with Webflow's hosting and CMS.

You can connect OVH with Webflow through DNS configuration. You can also build with Webflow and OVH APIs to automate workflows with webhooks, store assets in OVH Object Storage, or automate deployments with OVH's CI/CD platform.

Connect your OVH domain to Webflow

Point your OVH domain to Webflow hosting through DNS configuration. Use OVH for domain registration and DNS management while Webflow handles hosting, SSL certificates, and CDN delivery.

To do this, access the OVH Control Panel and navigate to your Domain Names > DNS zone. Remove any existing A or CNAME records that conflict with Webflow's requirements. Add the DNS records Webflow provides in your site settings.

Here are the specific steps:

• Add A records for root domain (@) using IP addresses from Webflow's DNS settings: 75.2.70.75 and 99.83.190.102
• Delete your AAAA record and TXT records, if they exist
• Create CNAME record for www subdomain pointing to proxy-ssl.webflow.com or cdn.webflow.com
• Keep OVH nameservers at default settings to maintain DNS management in OVH
• Wait 48 hours for full DNS propagation, though changes often appear within one to two hours

DNS propagation depends on TTL settings and ISP caching. Use DNS checking tools like whatsmydns.net to verify records propagate correctly. SSL certificates provision automatically after DNS records point to Webflow, typically within a few hours.

Build with Webflow and OVH APIs

Connect Webflow's webhook system with OVH's infrastructure APIs to automate workflows, manage assets, and deploy sites. This approach supports real-time event handling, custom storage solutions, and integrated CI/CD pipelines.

#### Automate workflows with Webflow webhooks and OVH infrastructure

Send Webflow events to OVH-hosted services using webhook triggers. When content changes, forms submit, or orders process, Webflow sends POST requests to your OVH server endpoints.

Configure webhooks in your Webflow site settings by providing your OVH server URL and selecting trigger events. Webflow sends JSON payloads with event data that your OVH-hosted application processes.

Implementation requirements:

• Validate webhook signatures using HMAC SHA-256 authentication with x-webflow-signature and x-webflow-timestamp headers
• Handle rate limits of 60 requests per minute per site
• Process event types including collection_item_created, form_submission, site_publish, and ecomm_new_order
• Implement retry logic for failed webhook deliveries and timeout scenarios

Authentication requires timing-safe string comparison to prevent replay attacks. The x-webflow-timestamp header must be within 5 minutes of your server time. Store webhook secrets server-side only and use HTTPS endpoints exclusively.

Common integration scenarios include syncing Webflow CMS content to OVH databases, processing form submissions through OVH-hosted applications, and triggering deployment workflows when sites publish.

#### Store Webflow assets in OVH Object Storage

Connect OVH Object Storage to Webflow Cloud projects for scalable media management. OVH's S3-compatible API works with Webflow's object storage bindings to handle uploads, downloads, and asset delivery.

Setup requires a Webflow Cloud project with GitHub repository access. After you have your project set up, create an Object Storage bucket in the OVHcloud Control Panel under Public Cloud > Object Storage. Generate IAM credentials with an Access Key and Secret Key pair.

Select an OVH region close to your primary user base for better performance. US-based sites typically use BHS (Beauharnois) or GRA (Gravelines) regions. European sites perform best with GRA, RBX (Roubaix), or SBG (Strasbourg).

Then, configure Webflow Cloud:

{
  "name": "your-project-name",
  "compatibility_date": "2023-08-14",
  "r2_buckets": [
    {
      "binding": "STORAGE",
      "bucket_name": "your-ovh-bucket-name"
    }
  ]
}

Storage operations:

• List files with prefix filtering using env.STORAGE.list({ prefix: 'uploads/' })
• Upload assets with metadata and cache controls including content type and cache headers
• Delete objects using key-based removal with env.STORAGE.delete(key)
• Implement multipart uploads for files larger than 500MB to improve reliability

Image assets have a 4MB maximum size and require MD5 hash validation. Documents support up to 10MB. Enable CDN on your OVH bucket to improve delivery performance. Configure CORS settings for browser-based uploads.

The Webflow Asset API handles metadata and references while OVH Object Storage manages the actual file storage and delivery. Use byte range fetches for partial downloads and streaming scenarios.

#### Automate deployments with OVH CI/CD and Webflow

Connect OVH's CDS platform or workflow management tools with Webflow's deployment system. Build automated pipelines that deploy Webflow sites when code changes, run tests before publishing, or coordinate multi-environment releases.

OVH CDS provides open-source CI/CD with complex workflow chaining, native Git integration, and REST API access. The platform connects to GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket repositories that contain Webflow Cloud projects.

Deployment automation options:

• GitHub Actions integration using OVH deployment action or VPS deployment guide
• Webflow CLI deployments triggered by CDS pipeline steps after build completion
• Environment management with separate staging and production Webflow sites
• Automated rollbacks using Webflow's version control and OVH workflow triggers

Configure deployment workflows using YAML definitions in OVH CDS or OpenStack Mistral format. Trigger deployments based on Git branch updates, scheduled intervals, or manual approval gates.

Infrastructure as code tools like Terraform's OVH provider manage server provisioning alongside Webflow site deployments. Combine with the OVH API Console for programmatic server management and resource scaling.

What you can build

Integrating OVH with Webflow supports cloud-powered sites with automated workflows, scalable storage, and enterprise deployment pipelines.

• Real-time content synchronization: Connect Webflow CMS webhooks to OVH databases to mirror content changes instantly. Build a knowledge base where CMS updates trigger search index rebuilds on OVH servers.
• Automated deployment workflows: Create CI/CD pipelines using OVH CDS that deploy Webflow sites after running tests and security scans. Build a multi-environment setup with staging sites that auto-deploy to production after approval.
• Scalable media libraries: Store Webflow assets in OVH Object Storage with CDN delivery. Build a digital asset management system where editors upload through Webflow while files serve from globally distributed OVH infrastructure.
• Custom form processing: Send Webflow form submissions to OVH-hosted applications for advanced validation, CRM integration, or automated email workflows. Build contact forms that trigger custom business logic on your OVH servers.
