Complete infrastructure retirement when the business has formally closed a location.

Trigger

Webhook received

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.

Action

Delete Zone

Tool to delete a zone. use after confirming the zone identifier to permanently remove a dns zone from your cloudflare account. example: delete zone(zone identifier="023e105f4ecef8ad9ca31a8372d0c353")

Why this helps

Unused zones remain active because closure work is split across operations and infrastructure tools.

  • Closes confirmed unused zones
  • Adds an explicit approval gate
  • Provides a traceable decommission report

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect 7shifts and Cloudflare in Notis once.
  • 2Create an automation named Location zone retirement.
  • 3Tell Notis to delete a zone only when the webhook includes confirmed closure approval and the exact zone identifier.
  • 4Pick the Notis webhook trigger.
  • 5Choose a report channel and test with a safe retired location payload.

Questions about this workflow

Is deletion reversible?

Zone deletion is a destructive action, so require explicit confirmation in the webhook and prompt.

Can this infer a zone id from a location name?

No. Supply the exact zone identifier.
