Trigger
New Email Received
Trigger for new emails in an AgentMail inbox
Action
Create DNS record
Tool to create a new dns record within a specific zone. use after obtaining the zone id to programmatically add dns entries.
Why this helps
DNS requests get buried in email, and manually copying record details creates avoidable delays and mistakes.
- Handle DNS requests where they arrive.
- Reduce manual copying of record details.
- Send a run report when required details are missing or the action completes.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Agent mail and Cloudflare once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis in plain language from any channel.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to identify DNS requests, verify the zone and record details, and create the record only when the email provides enough information.
- 4Pick the New Email Received trigger, then choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real request email.
Questions about this workflow
Does this create a record for every email?
The instruction can ask Notis to act only on emails that clearly request a DNS record. Ask it to report unclear requests for review.
What details should the email include?
Include the Cloudflare zone and the record name, type, and value. Supply any other information the record requires in the request.
Can Notis figure out the zone automatically?
Not reliably from the listed Cloudflare actions alone. Name the zone in the email or instruct Notis to ask for clarification if it cannot identify the correct zone.
