Retire a Cloudflare DNS record when a hostname is renamed
A renamed project or service can leave an old hostname behind. Let Notis act on the OneDrive move or rename only when your retirement rule and record identity are clear.
Trigger
Item Moved or Renamed
Triggers when a file or folder is moved to a different path or renamed in OneDrive. Includes both old and new path/name data in the payload.
Action
Delete DNS Record
Tool to delete a DNS record. Use when you need to remove a specific DNS record from a zone after confirming both zone and record IDs.
Why this helps
Old hostnames can linger in DNS after a team renames a service, creating cleanup work that is easy to overlook.
- Use rename or move activity to surface hostname retirement work.
- Apply a defined cleanup rule to the matching DNS record.
- Avoid manually revisiting Cloudflare for every renamed project.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect OneDrive and Cloudflare api key once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation telling Notis which rename or move events mean a hostname is retired and how to identify the exact Cloudflare zone and record.
- 3Pick the OneDrive Item Moved or Renamed trigger.
- 4Choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real rename and confirm the intended record before relying on the automation.
Questions about this workflow
Will every rename delete a DNS record?
Your instruction should limit deletion to confirmed retirements. A rename event alone does not prove that a hostname is no longer needed.
What identifiers are needed to delete the record?
The exact zone and DNS record identifiers must be known. If the event or your context does not provide them, instruct Notis to report the missing information instead of deleting.
