Apply an Approved DNS Replacement from Ably
Turn an approved record change into one clearly scoped Cloudflare update.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Overwrite DNS Record
Tool to completely overwrite a DNS record. Use when you need to replace all record details after confirming record type and name.
Why this helps
Record replacements get delayed when approved change details are scattered between event messages and DNS tools.
- Keep replacements tied to an explicit approval signal.
- Reduce repeated copying of record details.
- Make the target record and new values reviewable in the run report.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Ably and Cloudflare api key once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3Tell Notis to overwrite only the Cloudflare record identified in an approved request, after confirming the zone, record type, and name.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real approved change and verify the target record before applying.
Questions about this workflow
What identifiers are required?
Supply the zone and identify the record by its confirmed type and name; include its ID if available to remove ambiguity.
Will this act on a request without approval?
Configure the instruction to proceed only when the event clearly indicates approval and contains complete replacement details.
