Answer DNS questions without leaving Slack
Get a current Cloudflare DNS record list from a Slack question, with the lookup and summary handled in one flow.
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
List DNS Records
Tool to list DNS records for a given Cloudflare zone.
Why this helps
Finding current DNS details means switching tools, locating the right zone, and holding the original question in mind.
- Reduce tool switching for simple record checks.
- Get current records before replying to a teammate.
- Keep the original Slack request connected to the answer.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Cloudflare api key to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal and describe how Notis should identify a zone and summarize its records.
- 3Choose the Slack Channel Message Received trigger and select a channel for run reports.
- 4Test with one real question about a zone you can verify.
Questions about this workflow
Does this change DNS?
No. This workflow lists records so Notis can answer a lookup request; it does not create or edit them.
What if the question does not name a zone?
Tell Notis in the prompt to ask which zone the person means instead of guessing.
