Trigger

Trigger when a new task is added to Todoist.

Action

Create DNS record

Tool to create a new dns record within a specific zone. use after obtaining the zone id to programmatically add dns entries.

Why this helps

DNS requests get buried in task lists and require repeated context switching into Cloudflare.

  • Keeps DNS work attached to the task where it was requested
  • Reduces manual copying into Cloudflare
  • Creates a repeatable reviewable change process

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Todoist and Cloudflare once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations by choosing New Automation and naming it.
  • 3Tell Notis to read new Todoist tasks with approved DNS details and create the corresponding Cloudflare record.
  • 4Pick Todoist New Task Created as the trigger and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real DNS task and review the run report.

Questions about this workflow

What must the Todoist task include?

Include the zone, record type, name, content, and any required proxy or TTL instructions. If a value is missing, Notis should request it instead of guessing.

Can this delete existing records?

No. This workflow creates records with action 3788. Use a separate approved workflow for deletion.
