Automatic DNS Setup for API Endpoints
API spec approved and marked ready? Notis creates the DNS record instantly. Your API has infrastructure before implementation even starts.
Trigger
Issue Updated Trigger

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
API development requires DNS setup, but infrastructure work gets lost in the development workflow. APIs launch without proper DNS configuration.
- API infrastructure is ready immediately after spec approval
- Clear workflow alignment: spec then DNS ready then implementation
- No hand-offs between teams, no forgotten DNS setup
- API launches on schedule
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear and Cloudflare to Notis.
- 2Tell Notis: 'When an issue status changes to spec-ready and includes an API domain, create a DNS A record for that API endpoint.' Use Issue Updated as the trigger.
- 3Include the API domain in your API specification issues (e.g., 'API Domain: api-v2.example.com').
- 4Test by moving an API specification issue to 'spec-ready' and confirming Notis creates the DNS record.
Questions about this workflow
Should API DNS point to the staging or production environment?
You decide during setup. Notis can create staging DNS immediately and production DNS only after a separate approval step.
What if the API domain is in a different project than the spec?
Tell Notis to look for the domain in the issue description or a specific field. Flexibility is key.
Can I add API documentation DNS at the same time?
Yes. Tell Notis: 'Create DNS for both the API endpoint and the docs URL from the issue.'
