Create Cloudflare DNS records from Drive requests
Keep DNS changes moving from the request document to Cloudflare without retyping record details.
Trigger
File Created
Triggers when a new file is created in Google Drive.
Action
Create DNS Record
Tool to create a new DNS record in a Cloudflare zone. Use when you need to add a record (A, CNAME, TXT, MX, etc.) to a specified zone.
Why this helps
DNS requests can sit in documents while someone has to manually copy the details into Cloudflare.
- Reduce manual copying of DNS record details.
- Keep the original request in Drive for context.
- Skip creating a record when required details are missing or ambiguous.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Drive and Cloudflare api key once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a clear name.
- 3Tell Notis to create only the explicitly requested DNS record when a new Drive file provides the zone and complete record details, and to flag missing or ambiguous details in its run report.
- 4Pick the Google Drive File Created trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real DNS request file.
Questions about this workflow
What should the request file include?
Include the Cloudflare zone and the record type, name, and content, plus any required record options. Notis should report incomplete requests instead of guessing.
Does this run for existing files?
No. This workflow uses the File Created event, so it responds to new files.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Google Drive to Cloudflare api key. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Google Drive triggers
Cloudflare api key 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 in a Cloudflare zone. Use when you need to add a record (A, CNAME, TXT, MX, etc.) to a specified zone.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Create Zone Lockdown Rule
Tool to create a Zone Lockdown rule. Use when you need to restrict access to specific URL patterns to defined IPs/CIDR ranges. Use after confirming zone_id.
Comment Added (Docs/Sheets/Slides)
Triggers when a new comment is added to Google Docs, Sheets, or Slides.
Create Rule in Ruleset
Tool to add a rule to an existing ruleset. Use when you need to append or insert a new rule in a Cloudflare ruleset.
File Created
Triggers when a new file is created in Google Drive.
Create Ruleset
Tool to create an account- or zone-scoped ruleset. Use after defining your ruleset details and selecting the correct scope.
File Deleted or Trashed
Triggers when a file is moved to trash or permanently deleted in Drive.
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.
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 DNSSEC
Tool to delete DNSSEC records for a zone. Use after disabling DNSSEC at the registrar to remove DNSSEC configuration.
File Updated
Triggers when a file's metadata or content changes in Google Drive.
Delete Rule from Ruleset
Tool to delete a specific rule from a ruleset. Use when you need to remove an outdated or incorrect rule from an account or zone ruleset after confirming IDs.
Google Drive Changes
Triggers when changes are detected in a Google Drive.
Delete Ruleset
Tool to delete all versions of a ruleset. Use when you need to remove a ruleset from an account or zone after confirming no references exist.
