Create a Cloudflare zone from an Ably domain onboarding request
Route a domain request through Ably and let Notis create its Cloudflare zone from the supplied account and domain details.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create Zone
Tool to create a new zone. use after confirming account id when adding a domain to cloudflare.
Why this helps
Domain onboarding can stall when the request is in one conversation and zone setup happens somewhere else.
- Convert a domain onboarding request into a zone creation action.
- Keep the requested account and domain together in the incoming request.
- Make zone setup easier to track through Notis run reports.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Ably and Cloudflare once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Notis with one instruction to create a zone for a supplied domain and account.
- 3Arrange for the relevant Ably domain request to send an HTTP request to the Notis webhook with the account ID and domain.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real domain request and confirm the zone in Cloudflare.
Questions about this workflow
What information does the request need?
It should include the domain to add and the Cloudflare account ID to use.
Can this workflow decide which account to use?
The request should identify the intended account. The Cloudflare action creates a zone after the account ID is confirmed.
Does Ably provide a native trigger event for Notis?
No. The workflow uses a Notis webhook that receives an HTTP request associated with the Ably domain request.
