How do I create a Cloudflare DNS record?

Short answer: You can create dns record in Cloudflare by hand from its own interface, but it won’t repeat itself. On TinyCommand, add the Cloudflare Create DNS Record action to a workflow, map its 6 inputs from any upstream app, and it runs automatically every time the trigger fires. No code, and a free tier to start.

FAQ

Questions about Create DNS Record.

What does the Create DNS Record action do in Cloudflare?

Creates an A, AAAA, CNAME, TXT, MX, or other DNS record on a Cloudflare zone with optional proxied flag for routing through Cloudflare's edge. For "deploy created new subdomain → auto-create DNS record" infrastructure-as-workflow patterns.

What inputs does Create DNS Record require?

Required: Zone ID, Record Type, Name, Content. Every input accepts a static value or a variable from any upstream node in your workflow.

Can I use dynamic inputs from earlier workflow nodes?

Yes. Any field on this action can pull values from upstream nodes, whether that's a form response, a trigger payload, an AI output, or a lookup result.

What happens if Cloudflare returns an error?

The run history shows the failed step with its input and the error message Cloudflare returned, so you can fix the input and run the workflow again. Automatic retries are built into HTTP steps only, where you can also set your own retry count and delay.

Does Create DNS Record support batch operations?

Run Create DNS Record inside a loop to process each item in an array. TinyCommand does not throttle calls for you, so for large arrays add a Delay step if you need to stay within Cloudflare's rate limits.
