Give an Adafruit IO project a Cloudflare DNS name
When a device endpoint is ready, send Notis the details and let it create the matching DNS record in the specified Cloudflare zone.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create DNS record
Create a DNS record that makes live changes to a zone.
Why this helps
Setting up a public device endpoint can mean switching between IoT project details and Cloudflare, then re-entering the same record information.
- Create DNS records from a single incoming request.
- Keep the desired hostname and record details with the project event.
- Reduce manual context switching during device setup.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Adafruit IO and Cloudflare in Notis once.
- 2Create an automation and describe that it should create a Cloudflare DNS record from an incoming device endpoint request.
- 3Have your sender POST the zone ID and required record details to the automation webhook.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real endpoint and confirm the record appears in the intended zone.
Questions about this workflow
Does Adafruit IO provide a built-in trigger for this workflow?
No Adafruit IO trigger events are available here. The workflow starts when an HTTP request reaches its Notis webhook; configure a sender to make that request.
What information does the request need?
It must supply the zone ID and the record details Cloudflare requires. The workflow cannot infer these values if they are absent.
Will this update an existing record?
No. This workflow uses Cloudflare's create DNS record action. Use it when a new record is intended.
