Make Box task completion the signal for a DNS change
Let a completed Box assignment move a reviewed DNS request forward, with Notis checking that the record details are complete before acting.
Trigger
Task Assignment State Changed
Triggers when a task assignment's state changes. This trigger monitors task assignments for a specific task and detects when the resolution_state changes (e.g., from incomplete to completed, or from completed to approved/rejected).
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
A reviewed DNS request can still need someone to notice task completion and repeat the record details in Cloudflare.
- Use an existing Box assignment completion as the go-ahead.
- Reduce missed handoffs between review and implementation.
- Skip tasks whose requested DNS details are incomplete.
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 use a completed task assignment as approval, read the associated DNS request, and create the requested Cloudflare record only when its zone and record details are explicit.
- 4Pick the Box Task Assignment State Changed trigger for the relevant task and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real completed DNS task and confirm the record details in Cloudflare.
