Case Study: IEEE achieves automated domain expiration alerts with Whois API

Easily Managing Hundreds of Domain Names From Salesforce

IEEE, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, faced the challenge of manually monitoring hundreds of third-party domain names to check for upcoming expirations. This repetitive process was inefficient and created a risk of domains lapsing. They sought a solution to automate the retrieval of Whois domain name registry data.

To solve this, IEEE engaged WhoisXML API and its Whois API web service. A partner integrated this service into IEEE's Salesforce instance via a custom app, enabling automatic domain data updates and expiration alerts. This streamlined the entire process, eliminating manual work and ensuring critical domain names were protected from accidental loss. The vendor, WhoisXML API, provided a cost-effective and feature-rich service that was a perfect fit for the project's needs.
