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. Tiny Command handles Cloudflare's rate limits automatically so you don't have to throttle manually.
