FAQ

Questions about Delete DNS Record.

What does the Delete DNS Record action do in Cloudflare?

Removes a specific DNS record by ID. Irreversible. For "service decommissioned → clean up the DNS record" workflows or for deploy-rollback automation that removes records added by a failed deploy.

What inputs does Delete DNS Record require?

Required: Zone ID, Record ID. 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 Delete DNS Record support batch operations?

Run Delete 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.
