Export DNS logs after deployment status changes
Release verification gets lighter when the evidence is ready when you need it.
Trigger
New Deployment Status Created
Triggers when a new deployment status is created for a specific deployment. Fires an event for each newly created deployment status on the monitored deployment. Deployment statuses represent state transitions such as pending, in_progress, success, failure, error, inactive, and queued. The payload includes the status state, creator, environment, description, timestamps, and relevant URLs.
Action
Download Logs
Tool to download dns logs for a profile. use when you need the url of the exported logs. use after confirming the profile id is valid. supports getting a redirect url or json.
Why this helps
Post-deployment checks are easy to postpone when logs require a separate manual export.
- Prepares evidence for release review.
- Reduces post-deployment tab switching.
- Supports a consistent verification habit.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and NextDNS to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create the automation in the portal or ask Notis conversationally.
- 3Use this instruction: When a deployment status is created for the chosen environment, generate a downloadable NextDNS log export for the selected profile and report its link.
- 4Select the deployment status trigger, choose a report channel, and test with one real deployment.
Questions about this workflow
Does it deploy anything?
No. It only prepares a NextDNS log export.
Can I limit it to production?
Yes. Configure the deployment trigger for the desired environment.
