Why this helps
Old campaign hosts linger in DNS because cleanup is disconnected from lifecycle signals.
- Reduces stale DNS entries
- Ties cleanup to lifecycle signals
- Requires zone and record confirmation
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Mailchimp and Cloudflare in Notis once.
- 2Create an automation named Retired campaign DNS cleanup.
- 3Tell Notis to delete the DNS record only when the unsubscribe event confirms the hostname, zone, and record identifier.
- 4Pick the Unsubscribe Trigger, choose a report channel, and test with one real unsubscribe event.
Questions about this workflow
Can it delete a record based only on an email address?
No. The required zone and record identifiers must be confirmed.
Is deletion reversible?
Deletion is a Cloudflare change, so verify the target before allowing it.
