Trigger when a new task is added to Todoist.
Action
Update DNS record
Tool to update an existing dns record within a specific zone. use after confirming both zone and record identifiers; only provided fields are modified.
Why this helps
Small DNS edits are easy to delay when every change requires a separate Cloudflare session.
- Preserves the task as the change request
- Updates only fields explicitly supplied
- Prompts for missing zone or record identifiers
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Todoist and Cloudflare once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create a named automation from Automations and New Automation.
- 3In one instruction, tell Notis to find the confirmed zone and record identifiers in each new task and update only requested DNS fields.
- 4Pick Todoist New Task Created, select a report channel, and save the trigger.
- 5Test with one real record update task.
Questions about this workflow
What prevents an incorrect record from changing?
Tell Notis to require both zone and record identifiers and to stop when either is absent or ambiguous.
Can one task change several fields?
Yes, when the task clearly states each desired field. Only supplied fields should be modified.
