Recheck a pending Cloudflare zone from Slack
Keep zone activation follow-through simple: confirm DNS readiness in Slack and let Notis start another check.
Trigger
Channel Message Received
Triggered when a message is posted in a Slack channel (public, private, or multi-party IM). Does NOT match direct messages.
Action
Rerun Zone Activation Check
Tool to trigger a new activation check for a PENDING zone. Use after initial zone creation to revalidate DNS activation. Limited rate: every 5 minutes on paygo/Enterprise or hourly on Free.
Why this helps
After fixing DNS, a pending activation can sit waiting because someone has to remember to revisit Cloudflare.
- Connect a readiness confirmation to the next activation check.
- Reduce the manual reminder loop after DNS changes.
- Keep pending setup moving with a visible result.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Cloudflare api key once through the Notis portal.
- 2Create a prompt requiring a pending zone and an explicit confirmation that DNS changes are ready.
- 3Select Slack Channel Message Received and choose where run reports should go.
- 4Test with one real pending zone and verify the activation check result in Cloudflare.
Questions about this workflow
Should this run on every DNS update?
No. Have the prompt require a clear readiness confirmation and confirm that the zone is pending before rerunning the check.
Can I request checks frequently?
The activation check has rate limits, so avoid repeated requests and follow the limits for your Cloudflare plan.
