Apply an approved DNS record replacement
Use a reviewed change request to replace a Cloudflare DNS record once the record identity is confirmed.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Overwrite DNS Record
Replaces all details of a DNS record.
Why this helps
Replacing DNS records requires careful attention to identity and values, especially when the request starts in a separate document.
- Reduce copying errors when replacing a DNS record.
- Confirm the record identity before overwriting it.
- Route incomplete requests to a report for clarification.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Affinda and Cloudflare api key once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis the outcome in plain language.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to overwrite the named DNS record with the approved values only after confirming the zone, record type, and record name.
- 4Choose notis_webhook as the trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one approved change request and known record.
Questions about this workflow
How is this different from creating a record?
This overwrites an existing record. The current record type and name should be confirmed before the change.
Will it find the right record if the document just says a domain?
The prompt should require enough detail to identify the exact record. If it is ambiguous, Notis should stop and report what is needed.
