Trigger

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 updates require careful copying between Coda instructions and the cloud console.

  • Reduce copy and paste errors
  • Keep a documented change trail
  • Shorten approved DNS implementation time

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Coda and DigitalOcean in Notis.
  • 2Create an automation for the approved DNS change page.
  • 3Tell Notis to update a record only when the page includes approval, domain name, record id, and the exact new attributes.
  • 4Pick the Specific Coda Page Updated trigger and choose a report channel.
  • 5Test with one approved change page and verify the returned record.

Questions about this workflow
