Keep configuration-driven DNS in step with commits
For the few repositories where a commit means a routing change, make the follow-up automatic.
Trigger
Commit Event
Triggered when a new commit is pushed to a repository.
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
A small configuration commit can require a separate DNS update that is easy to overlook.
- Remove repetitive DNS follow-up from commit routines.
- Keep a defined endpoint aligned with repository activity.
- Make specialized publishing flows easier to maintain.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and Cloudflare to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation instructing Notis to update the designated Cloudflare DNS record after a commit to the relevant repository.
- 3Select the commit trigger, choose a reporting channel, and describe the safe target in plain language.
- 4Test on a non-production record first.
Questions about this workflow
Should every commit change DNS?
Usually no. Use a monitored repository or branch and state the narrow condition in the instruction.
Can this replace deployment automation?
No. It handles the Cloudflare record action; deployment remains a separate concern.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link GitHub to Cloudflare. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
GitHub triggers
Cloudflare actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Create DNS record
Tool to create a new dns record within a specific zone. use after obtaining the zone id to programmatically add dns entries.
Webhook trigger

Tool to create a new empty waf list for the account. use after confirming the account id. example: create list(account id="<id>", kind="ip", name="blocklist")
New Workflow Artifact Created
Triggers when a new workflow artifact is created in a GitHub repository. Monitors for newly created GitHub Actions workflow artifacts. Optionally filters by artifact name to restrict monitoring to specific artifacts.
Create Zone
Tool to create a new zone. use after confirming account id when adding a domain to cloudflare.
Branch Changed
Triggers when a GitHub branch changes. Monitors a specific branch for: - New commits pushed (head commit SHA changes) - Protection status toggled (branch becomes protected or unprotected) - Protection settings changed, including: required status checks and their enforcement level, admin enforcement, required pull request reviews (dismiss stale reviews, code owner reviews, approving review count, last push approval), required linear history, force push allowance, deletion allowance, conversation resolution, branch locking, and fork syncing.
Delete DNS Record
Tool to delete a dns record within a specific zone. use after confirming zone and record ids. example: "delete dns record 372e6795... from zone 023e105f4ecef..."
New Branch Created
Triggers when a new branch is created in a GitHub repository. Detects newly created branches. Deleted branches do not fire events.
Delete WAF List
Tool to delete a waf list. use when you need to remove a list after verifying no filters reference it. example: delete list(account id="<account id>", list id="<list id>")
Check Run Status / Conclusion Changed
Triggers when a specific GitHub check run changes its status or conclusion. Monitors a single check run for changes to: status (queued, in_progress, completed, etc.), conclusion (success, failure, neutral, cancelled, skipped, timed_out, action_required), started_at, and completed_at.
Delete Zone
Tool to delete a zone. use after confirming the zone identifier to permanently remove a dns zone from your cloudflare account. example: delete zone(zone identifier="023e105f4ecef8ad9ca31a8372d0c353")
Check Suite Status / Conclusion Changed
Triggers when a GitHub check suite changes its status or conclusion for a given ref. Monitors all check suites associated with a git reference (branch, tag, or commit SHA) for changes to status (queued, in_progress, completed, etc.) and conclusion (success, failure, neutral, cancelled, skipped, timed_out, action_required, startup_failure, stale). Optionally filters by GitHub App ID.
List WAF Lists
Tool to fetch all waf lists (no items) for an account. use after confirming account id.
New Code Scanning Alert Created
Triggers when a new code scanning alert is created in a repository. Fires an event for each newly created code scanning alert detected in the configured repository. Alerts can be filtered by Git reference, scanning tool, state, and severity. The payload includes the alert number, rule details, tool information, state, severity, and the location of the most recent instance.
List Account Members
Tool to list members of a given cloudflare account. use after confirming the account id.
