Why this helps
DNS changes are easy to misplace when launch requests live in busy chat channels.
- Keep record requests tied to their domain.
- Avoid re-entering record instructions from chat.
- Make the requested change easier to review in run reports.
Setup

- 3Tell Notis to create a record only when the request names an existing domain and gives the record specifics.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and report channel.
- 5Test with one real record request for an existing domain.
Questions about this workflow
