Clean Up DNS for a Retired Creative Domain
Turn a domain retirement request into a focused Cloudflare record cleanup with the required IDs included.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Delete DNS Record
Deletes a DNS record from a zone.
Why this helps
Old creative destinations can linger when DNS cleanup gets separated from project retirement.
- Tie DNS cleanup to an explicit retirement request.
- Require the request to identify the zone and record to remove.
- Create a report that helps the team track the cleanup.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Abyssale and Cloudflare api key once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it for retired domain cleanup.
- 3Tell Notis to delete only the DNS record identified by the zone and record IDs in the request.
- 4Pick the notis_webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real retirement request for a record approved for removal.
Questions about this workflow
What must the retirement request contain?
It must identify both the Cloudflare zone and the specific DNS record to delete.
Can the workflow decide which records are unused?
No. The available action deletes a specific record. The request must identify the record after your team has decided it should be removed.
Does it delete an Abyssale project or asset?
No. It deletes the identified Cloudflare DNS record only.
