The challenge

Webflow, a visual web development platform used by enterprises, was losing upmarket deals because large buyers required SSO and SCIM directory sync as standard procurement criteria. Building and maintaining that identity infrastructure in-house would have diverted engineering effort from Webflow's core product.

The solution

Webflow adopted WorkOS to add enterprise-grade SSO and Directory Sync, including automated user deprovisioning, without building the underlying identity-provider integrations itself.

The results, in context

A single engineer integrated WorkOS in under two weeks, giving Webflow the enterprise authentication features its larger prospects required. This removed SSO and SCIM as blockers in enterprise procurement while keeping the work off the core product roadmap.
