Route 53 Domains

00Overview

Manage your domain portfolio straight from a flow — check availability, get name suggestions, and register, renew, transfer or delete domains, all without opening the AWS console. Keep registrant, admin and tech contacts and their WHOIS privacy up to date, replace nameservers, toggle auto-renewal, and manage DNSSEC delegation-signer records. Look up domain and operation details, list the domains in your account, and track long-running operations through to completion.

Every field below is exactly what you see in the Flomation editor. Fields marked ● live picker let you choose from a list pulled live from your account — no IDs to look up.

01Connecting Route 53 Domains

1. In the node, set Authentication to the method your organisation uses: Access Keys (your own IAM access key and secret), Assume Role (cross-account) (Flomation's own identity assumes a role you grant it), or Managed Role (Credential) (a pre-configured AWS credential your Flomation admin has already set up).
2. In the AWS IAM console (console.aws.amazon.com/iam), make sure the identity you use holds the route53domains permissions for the actions you plan to automate — the registrar is a global service, so these apply account-wide.
3. For Access Keys, open IAM → Users → your user → Security credentials, choose Create access key, and copy the Access key ID and Secret access key into the node's AWS Access Key and AWS Secret Key fields; add a Session Token only if you are using temporary (STS) credentials.
4. For Assume Role (cross-account), create an IAM role that trusts Flomation's principal and paste its ARN into Role ARN to Assume; if the role's trust policy sets an external ID, enter the matching value in Assume Role External ID.
5. Set Region to any valid AWS region such as us-east-1 — it only establishes the credential context, since domain operations always run against the global registrar endpoint.
6. In Flomation, store the secret access key as an environment secret (e.g. route53domains_secret), then pick it in the node's AWS Secret Key field.

17Notes & Limitations

Behaviours and constraints worth knowing before you build with these nodes.

• All Route 53 Domains actions run against the us-east-1 endpoint regardless of the region you configure, because domain registration is a global AWS service and the region setting only affects the credential and configuration context.
• Registration, renewal, transfer, accept, cancel, delete, and contact or nameserver update actions return an operation ID that you can track with the get operation detail action, which reports the operation status and reaches SUCCESSFUL when the operation completes; all operations can also be listed.
• Renewing a domain requires you to supply the current expiry year, and the request is rejected if it does not match, which prevents an accidental double renewal.
• You can check a registrant contact's reachability status and resend the verification email, and note that ICANN requires registrant email verification and domains with unverified contacts may be suspended.
• A domain transfer returns a transfer password that is required to accept the transfer, and a pending transfer can be cancelled.
