Remove an identified DNS record after a sent notice

Finish an explicitly authorized DNS cleanup after sending its change notice, with a report that records the result.

Trigger

Email Sent

Triggers when a Gmail message is sent by the authenticated user. It polls the 'SENT' label and emits metadata including sender, recipients, subject, timestamp, and thread ID.

Action

Delete DNS Record

Tool to delete a DNS record. Use when you need to remove a specific DNS record from a zone after confirming both zone and record IDs.

Why this helps

A record removal can be left as a separate follow-up after the change notice goes out.

  • Tie a record removal to an explicit sent notice.
  • Reduce manual follow-up after a change communication.
  • Report when zone or record identifiers are not clear.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Gmail and Cloudflare api key once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
  • 3In one instruction, ask Notis to delete a DNS record only when the sent email explicitly authorizes removal and the zone and record ID are confirmed; otherwise report what needs confirmation.
  • 4Pick Email Sent as the trigger and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real sent notice that identifies the intended record.

Questions about this workflow

Will this delete a record based only on its name?

The instruction should require confirmation of both zone and record IDs before deletion.

Does the sent message need to be an explicit removal notice?

Yes. Configure the instruction to act only when the sent email clearly authorizes removal.
