How do I list DNS records on a Cloudflare zone?

Short answer: You can list dns records in Cloudflare by hand from its own interface, but it won’t repeat itself. On TinyCommand, add the Cloudflare List DNS Records action to a workflow, map its 3 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 List DNS Records.

What does the List DNS Records action do in Cloudflare?
Returns paginated DNS records on a zone with filters by type, name, content. Useful for DNS audits, for "find the IP this CNAME points to" lookups, or for backup workflows that snapshot DNS state daily.
What inputs does List DNS Records require?
Required: Zone 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 workflow pauses on the failed node, the error message is captured in the run log, and you can retry the run with one click. Auto-retry policies are configurable per workflow with exponential backoff up to 5 attempts.
Does List DNS Records support batch operations?
Yes. Run List DNS Records inside a Loop node to process arrays. TinyCommand handles Cloudflare's rate limits automatically so you don't have to throttle manually.
More actions

Other Cloudflare actions.

Action
Create DNS Record
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.
Action
Delete DNS Record
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.
Action
List Zones
Returns every zone (each Cloudflare-managed domain) with name, status, plan. Useful for multi-domain organisations running cross-zone operations (e.g., "purge cache on all production zones simultaneously").
Action
Purge Cloudflare Cache
Purges cached content by URL (up to 30 per call), by tag (Enterprise tier), or by hostname. Most app-deploy workflows do URL-based purges scoped to the changed assets to avoid edge-cache stampedes on a full purge.
Action
Update DNS Record
Updates a DNS record's content, TTL, or proxied flag. Useful for "service migrated to new IP → update A record" deploy automation or for failover-routing workflows that toggle DNS pointing.
