Rerun Cloudflare zone activation with a webhook
Let deployment systems request a fresh activation check without manual dashboard work.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Rerun Zone Activation Check
Tool to trigger a new activation check for a PENDING zone. Use after initial zone creation to revalidate DNS activation. Limited rate: every 5 minutes on paygo/Enterprise or hourly on Free.
Why this helps
Pending zones create repeated follow-up work after DNS changes or migrations.
- Reduce manual activation checks
- Connect deployment events to Cloudflare
- Report rate limit or status outcomes

- 3Choose a webhook as the trigger and copy its endpoint to the sending system.
- 4Choose where activation reports should go.
- 5Test with one pending zone event.
Questions about this workflow
Can this run repeatedly?
Cloudflare rate limits activation checks, so use it only for appropriate pending-zone events.
What should the webhook include?
Include enough zone context for Notis to identify the pending zone.
