Carry a clarified DNS change from Asana into DigitalOcean
DNS tasks often need a round of clarification. When the task is updated with a clear change, Notis can apply it and report the result.
Trigger
Task Updated
Triggers when a task is updated in a project.
Action
Update Domain Record
Tool to update an existing dns record for a domain. use when you need to modify any valid attribute of a record after confirming its record id.
Why this helps
Small DNS edits can wait in project work after the final value has already been decided.
- Revisit DNS requests when a decision is updated
- Require the record identity and intended values before editing
- Keep the change outcome attached to project work
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Asana and DigitalOcean once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Tell Notis to review updated DNS tasks and update a record only when the domain, record ID, and exact intended changes are provided, reporting anything ambiguous.
- 4Choose the Asana Task Updated trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real task describing an approved DNS update.
Questions about this workflow
What details are needed for a record update?
The request needs the domain name, record ID, and explicit values for the change. Notis should ask about missing details.
Can Notis decide the desired DNS value?
No. The intended values must be provided in the task or automation instruction.
What happens if the record ID is unknown?
Have the workflow report that the record needs to be identified before making an update.
