Turn Box DNS requests into Cloudflare record updates
Keep approved DNS changes moving by asking Notis to review the updated request and apply its instructions to the identified Cloudflare record.
Trigger
New File Version Uploaded
Triggers when a new file version is uploaded to a file in Box. This trigger monitors a specific Box file and fires when new versions are detected.
Action
Update DNS record
Tool to update an existing dns record within a specific zone. use after confirming both zone and record identifiers; only provided fields are modified.
Why this helps
DNS requests can sit in shared folders while someone manually checks the details and finds the right Cloudflare record.
- Reduce manual handoffs between change documents and Cloudflare.
- Use the request's stated zone and record identifiers to locate the intended update.
- Receive a run report for each processed file version.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Box and Cloudflare once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a clear name.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to review the DNS request and update only the existing record identified in the document.
- 4Choose New File Version Uploaded as the trigger and select the Box request file.
- 5Choose a report channel, then test with one real request that identifies the zone and record.
Questions about this workflow
Does this create a DNS record if one is missing?
No. This workflow uses the Cloudflare Update DNS record action. The request must identify an existing zone and record.
What if the request lacks a record identifier?
Tell Notis to report the missing information and leave Cloudflare unchanged until the request is complete.
