Apply a reviewed DNS record revision from Sheets

Keep proposed record details in a monitored range and let Notis overwrite the specified Cloudflare record when the revision changes.

Trigger

Cell Range Values Changed

Triggers when values in a specified A1 range change in Google Sheets. This trigger monitors a specific cell or range of cells and fires when any values change.

Action

Overwrite DNS Record

Tool to completely overwrite a DNS record. Use when you need to replace all record details after confirming record type and name.

Why this helps

DNS record revisions can be copied incompletely or left waiting when spreadsheet requests and Cloudflare live apart.

  • Start a record revision from a specific range change.
  • Keep proposed record details in the spreadsheet request.
  • Reduce manual re-entry of a reviewed record change.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Google Sheets and Cloudflare api key once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
  • 3Tell Notis to overwrite the specified DNS record in the confirmed zone using the revised record details.
  • 4Pick Cell Range Values Changed as the trigger and choose where run reports go.
  • 5Test with one reviewed range change and confirm the record type, name, zone, and record ID.

Questions about this workflow

How is overwrite different from creating a record?

Overwrite completely replaces a DNS record's details. Use it for a confirmed existing record; use the create action for a new record.

What must the instruction specify?

Identify the zone and record, confirm the record type and name, and provide the complete replacement details.

Does this update only a part of the record?

No. The action completely overwrites the record, so provide all intended record details.
