Check for an existing zone before planning domain work
A fast lookup gives you useful context before someone spends time investigating domain setup from scratch.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
List Zones
Lists the DNS zones in the authenticated account.
Why this helps
Without a quick check, teams can repeat discovery work or assume a domain has not been set up.
- Checks current zone listings before follow-up investigation.
- Reduces duplicate discovery work across the deal team.
- Keeps assumptions visible when the domain match is unclear.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Affinity and Cloudflare once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it for existing zone checks.
- 3Tell Notis to find the deal domain and report any corresponding zones, including uncertain matches.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger to start the check when needed.
- 5Choose a report channel and test using a domain with a known zone status.
Questions about this workflow
Does this detect duplicate DNS records?
No. It checks zone listings, not records within a zone.
What if no zone is found?
The report can note that no apparent zone match was returned. It does not prove the domain is unowned or unconfigured elsewhere.
