Check DNS When a Device Raises an Alert
A device alert can prompt a focused DNS review. Notis retrieves the records for the zone you specify and reports the result.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
List DNS Records
Lists DNS records for a zone.
Why this helps
A device warning can create a trail of manual checks across dashboards, making follow-up harder to keep track of.
- Turn a device alert into a focused DNS lookup.
- Keep the zone under review explicit.
- Send findings to a chosen report channel for follow-up.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Adafruit IO and Cloudflare api key in Notis once.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis to create one from any channel.
- 3Describe that a device alert should list DNS records for its specified Cloudflare zone and summarize the findings.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real alert that includes a zone identifier.
Questions about this workflow
Does this change DNS?
No. It lists DNS records for review and reports what it finds.
What if an alert does not identify a zone?
Supply the zone in the webhook or your instruction. The workflow cannot infer an unspecified zone.
