Keep DNS investigation updates in Slack
Give the team one compact update with the observed DNS issue, what is known, and what still needs checking.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Post message to channel
Deprecated: posts a message to a slack channel, direct message, or private channel. use `send message` instead.
Why this helps
During an investigation, updates can scatter across tools while people repeatedly ask what is known.
- Collect findings into a scannable team update.
- Separate observed facts from unresolved questions.
- Reduce repeated requests for investigation status.

- 1Connect Cloudflare and Slack in Notis once.
- 2Create an automation and describe how to summarize the DNS investigation findings and open checks in Slack.
- 3Choose the Notis webhook trigger.
- 4Choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real DNS investigation example.
Questions about this workflow
Does this detect DNS incidents on its own?
No. Cloudflare has no trigger events listed here. The Notis webhook starts when an HTTP request is sent.
Can it diagnose an issue without supporting information?
It should report the information available and identify what evidence or context is still needed.
