Move approved DNS requests from Box to Cloudflare
Keep DNS requests with their supporting documents in Box, and let Notis carry approved, clearly specified changes into Cloudflare.
Trigger
New File Added to Folder
Triggers when a new file is added to a folder in Box. This trigger monitors a specific Box folder and fires when new files are detected. Only files (not folders or web links) are monitored.
Action
Create DNS Record
Tool to create a new DNS record in a Cloudflare zone. Use when you need to add a record (A, CNAME, TXT, MX, etc.) to a specified zone.
Why this helps
DNS requests can sit in Box while someone manually copies record details into Cloudflare, creating delay and transcription risk.
- Reduce manual copying of DNS values.
- Keep the request and its supporting context in Box.
- Use an explicit approval rule before creating records.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Box and Cloudflare api key once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Tell Notis to read approved DNS requests added to the designated Box folder, confirm the zone and complete record details, and create only unambiguous records in Cloudflare.
- 4Pick the Box New File Added to Folder trigger for the request folder and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real approved request and verify the resulting Cloudflare record.
Questions about this workflow
What should a Box request include?
Include the Cloudflare zone and the requested record type, name, content, and any required settings. Notis should skip requests with missing or conflicting details.
Can this create a record before approval?
Instruct Notis to require an explicit approval marker or completed approval process in the request before creating a record.
Which Box trigger starts the automation?
The New File Added to Folder trigger, event 2383, monitors a specific Box folder for new files.
