Update a DigitalOcean DNS record from WhatsApp
Approved DNS edits move from chat to the right record without retyping.
Trigger
New WhatsApp Message Received
Polling trigger that monitors for new messages received in TimelinesAI WhatsApp chats.
Action
Update Domain Record
Tool to update an existing dns record for a domain. use when you need to modify any valid attribute of a record after confirming its record id.
Why this helps
DNS edits are risky when record ids and new values are handled manually under pressure.
- Use explicit record ids
- Keep approval context with the change
- Report exactly what was updated
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect TimelinesAI and Digital ocean in Notis once.
- 2Create an automation named WhatsApp DNS record updates.
- 3Tell Notis to act only on approved messages, extract domain, record id, and valid changes, then update the record.
- 4Pick New WhatsApp Message Received as the trigger and choose a report channel.
- 5Test with one approved DNS edit.
Questions about this workflow
Does the message need a record id?
