Verify DNS changes from the conversation
A message announcing DNS work can become the cue for a distributed DNS check, keeping the verification step close to the change discussion.
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
Create Measurement
Tool to create and trigger a network measurement. Use when you need connectivity checks from specific geographic or network locations.
Why this helps
DNS follow-up is easy to overlook when the change announcement is buried among launch and operations messages.
- Start DNS verification from the change announcement itself.
- Gather resolver observations from Globalping probes in one measurement.
- Keep post-change follow-through visible alongside the team discussion.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Globalping to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation by asking Notis or in the portal, using one prompt to start a DNS measurement for domains named in DNS change announcements in the chosen channel.
- 3Select Slack Channel Message Received as the trigger and choose the run-report channel.
- 4Test with a real DNS change announcement that names a domain.
Questions about this workflow
What detail should the announcement contain?
Include the domain to check. The plain-language instruction should say that the announcement concerns a DNS change.
Does this guarantee DNS has propagated everywhere?
No. A Globalping measurement samples observations from its probes; it is useful evidence, not a guarantee about every resolver.
