Create Cloudflare DNS records from Gmail requests

Stop searching email for DNS changes. Let Notis turn clear requests into Cloudflare records.

Trigger

New Gmail Message Received Trigger

Triggers when a new message is received in Gmail.

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 get buried in inboxes and are easy to postpone or misread.

  • Reduces inbox triage
  • Keeps DNS changes moving
  • Adds a consistent review step

  • 2Create an automation and describe how to verify and create approved DNS records from incoming Gmail requests.
  • 3Pick New Gmail Message Received Trigger as the trigger.
  • 4Choose where run reports should be delivered, then test with one real request.

Questions about this workflow

Can Notis create every record type?

It can create the supported Cloudflare DNS record types when the request includes enough details.

What if the email is ambiguous?

Tell Notis to report missing details and avoid creating a record until the request is clear.
