Create Cloudflare DNS records from new Zendesk users

Capture DNS setup requests from Zendesk and let Notis create the right Cloudflare record without another tab.

Trigger

New User Created

Triggered when a new user is created in Zendesk.

Action

Create DNS Record

Tool to create a new DNS record in a Cloudflare zone. Use when you need to add a record (A, CNAME, TXT, MX, etc.) to a specified zone.

Why this helps

DNS requests buried in onboarding tickets are easy to miss or delay.

  • Reduce manual DNS entry
  • Keep onboarding work moving
  • Create a consistent handoff from support to infrastructure

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Zendesk and Cloudflare in Notis once.
  • 2Create an automation named New user DNS record.
  • 3Tell Notis to read the new user context and create the requested DNS record in Cloudflare.
  • 4Pick New User Created as the trigger and choose where run reports go.
  • 5Test with one real user record.

Questions about this workflow

What if the new user does not include DNS details?

Tell Notis to request the missing zone, record type, name, or content instead of creating a record with guesses.

Can I review the result?

Choose a report channel and have Notis include the created record details in each run report.
