Why this helps
Retired domains remain active because deletion requires several disconnected checks.
- Creates a clear retirement path
- Requires explicit zone confirmation
- Reduces abandoned infrastructure
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Cloudflare in Notis once.
- 2Create an automation named Cloudflare zone retirement.
- 3Tell Notis to delete the zone only after confirming permanent retirement and the exact zone identifier.
- 4Choose a Notis webhook trigger, select a report channel, and test with one approved retirement request.
Questions about this workflow
Is deletion immediate?
The Cloudflare action permanently removes the specified zone, so the request must be verified.
Can a domain be archived instead?
Use a different workflow if you need a non-destructive review or update.
