Find Cloudflare zones from a Slack DM

Resolve a quick infrastructure lookup from a DM and get back to the work you were doing.

Trigger

Direct Message Received

Triggered when a new direct message (DM) is sent to a user in Slack. Catches all DMs across all DM channels.

Action

List Cloudflare Zones

Tool to list, search, sort, and filter Cloudflare zones. Use when you need to retrieve a paginated list of zones available to the authenticated user.

Why this helps

A small private request can disappear from view when it requires a separate search and later reply.

  • Handle private lookup requests without a manual dashboard detour.
  • Get a concise list of matching zones.
  • Keep run reporting in a channel the team can monitor.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Slack and Cloudflare api key once through the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation prompt describing how Notis should search and summarize zone requests received by DM.
  • 3Choose Direct Message Received and select the channel for run reports.
  • 4Test with a real DM zone lookup and verify the result in Cloudflare.

Questions about this workflow

Does this act on direct messages only?

Yes. Its trigger is Direct Message Received; channel messages need a separate workflow.

Does the zone search change anything?

No. It lists matching zones and does not update Cloudflare configuration.
