Notis

See the mail servers for a contact domain

When a device workflow supplies a domain for contact setup, retrieve its MX records in priority order.

Trigger

Webhook received

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

Action

Find Domain MX Records

Retrieves a domain's mail server records.

Why this helps

Domain mail routing details can require a separate lookup that interrupts an otherwise simple setup task.

  • Retrieve mail servers in priority order
  • Keep domain lookup attached to its source context
  • Avoid a separate manual MX search

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Adafruit IO and Clearout once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, then New Automation.
  • 3Tell Notis to retrieve and summarize MX records for the domain in each request.
  • 4Choose the webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
  • 5Send one real domain request to test the report.

Questions about this workflow

What input is needed?

The webhook request should include the domain whose mail servers you want to inspect.

Does this configure email routing?

No. It retrieves MX records for review; it does not change domain or mail settings.
