Remove stale DNS records with confidence
When an endpoint is truly gone, clear its public record while the retirement context is still available.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Delete Domain Record
Tool to delete a dns record by its record id for a domain. use when you need to remove an existing dns record and have the domain name and record id. returns http 204 no content on success.
Why this helps
Stale DNS records remain because cleanup requires confidence, lookup, and a separate manual action.
- Reduces stale public routing
- Adds a verification-based safety gate
- Prevents cleanup tasks from disappearing
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Globalping and DigitalOcean to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation named Stale endpoint DNS cleanup.
- 3Tell Notis: When a webhook confirms Globalping verifies an endpoint is retired and cleanup is approved, identify the exact DigitalOcean DNS record and delete it after confirming the domain and record id.
- 4Select notis_webhook and choose a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with a retired staging endpoint.
Questions about this workflow
What prevents the wrong record from being deleted?
The instruction requires confirmation of the domain, record identity, and explicit approval.
Can this clean an entire domain?
Use it for individual records; deleting a whole domain requires a separate reviewed workflow.
