Create Cloudflare DNS records from Drive requests
Put an approved DNS request in Drive and let Notis create the record in Cloudflare.
Trigger
File Created
Triggers when a new file is created in Google Drive.
Action
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.
Why this helps
DNS requests buried in documents can stall releases or lead to rushed manual entry.
- Turn a documented request into a Cloudflare DNS record.
- Keep record creation tied to an approved request.
- Reduce repeated copy and paste between Drive and Cloudflare.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Drive and Cloudflare once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis what outcome you want from any channel.
- 3In one instruction, say to create a DNS record only when a new Drive file contains an approved request with the zone and record details.
- 4Pick Google Drive File Created as the trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real approved request.
Questions about this workflow
Does this workflow decide whether a request is approved?
Notis can follow approval language or criteria you include in the instruction. Make those criteria explicit in the request or prompt.
What happens if the document is missing record details?
Tell Notis to skip incomplete requests and report which details are missing. The workflow needs the zone and record information before it can create a record.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Google Drive to Cloudflare. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Google Drive 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
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Create WAF List
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")
Comment Added (Docs/Sheets/Slides)

Create Zone

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..."
File Deleted or Trashed
Triggers when a file is moved to trash or permanently deleted in Drive.
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>")
File Shared (Permissions Added)
Triggers when new sharing permissions are granted to a file or folder. Uses Drive's `changes.list` endpoint with inline `permissions` in the `fields` mask so each change carries the file's current permission set provider-atomically. We diff that against `seen_permission_keys` to identify newly added grants. Drive page tokens are the primary cursor; if Drive rejects a stored token, the trigger raises `PollingTriggerError` without clearing state rather than silently re-baselining and dropping events. Limitation: truly ephemeral permissions (added and revoked between two polls without any other file modification in between) are not detected. Drive Activity API would catch those but requires an additional OAuth scope and a different payload contract.
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")
File Updated
Triggers when a file's metadata or content changes in Google Drive.
List WAF Lists
Tool to fetch all waf lists (no items) for an account. use after confirming account id.
