Cloudflare Block

The Cloudflare block integrates Cloudflare into your workflows. Use it to list zones, manage DNS records, and purge caches — making infrastructure changes and deployments fully automatable without leaving Zelaxy.

Overview

When to Use

• List all zones on a Cloudflare account or fetch details for a single zone by ID.
• Programmatically create, update, or delete DNS records (A, CNAME, MX, TXT) when infrastructure changes.
• Point a new subdomain at a server by creating a DNS record as part of a provisioning workflow.
• Purge a zone's cache after deploying updated content so visitors see the latest version immediately.
• Audit or sync DNS records by reading all current records for a zone.
• Automate DNS teardown by deleting records when deprovisioning a service or environment.
