Create a Cloudflare DNS record from Ahrefs research

Bring a verified DNS change from Ahrefs research into Cloudflare with one clear handoff.

Trigger

Webhook received

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.

Action

Create DNS Record

Creates a DNS record in a zone.

Why this helps

DNS changes get lost between research, approval, and the Cloudflare dashboard.

  • Reduce manual transfer of approved DNS details.
  • Keep the research and requested change together in one handoff.
  • Require the zone and record details to be provided before creation.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Ahrefs and Cloudflare api key once in Notis.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis the outcome in plain language.
  • 3In one instruction, ask Notis to create a DNS record only from a webhook request that includes the confirmed zone and complete record details.
  • 4Pick the notis_webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real, reviewed DNS change.

Questions about this workflow

Does Ahrefs trigger this workflow directly?

No Ahrefs trigger events are available here. A Notis webhook starts the automation; include the reviewed Ahrefs finding and the DNS details in that request.

Will it decide the DNS values from a keyword report?

No. The request must include the intended record type, name, content, and target zone. Ahrefs research alone does not establish DNS values.
