Get DNS entries
Key Features and Highlights
This workflow automates the retrieval of DNS records for a specified domain (default example: "n8n.io"). Upon manual trigger, it automatically generates domain information and calls an external API to fetch all DNS entries associated with the domain, enabling users to quickly and accurately view relevant DNS configurations.
Core Problem Addressed
Manually querying DNS records often requires visiting multiple tools or websites, making the process cumbersome and time-consuming. This workflow consolidates the query steps into a single automated trigger, significantly improving efficiency and reducing the risk of human error.
Use Cases
- IT operations personnel or network administrators who need to regularly check or monitor changes in domain DNS records.
- Developers who want to quickly verify domain resolution settings during network service deployment or debugging.
- Enterprise security teams conducting domain security audits and vulnerability assessments.
Main Workflow Steps
- Manual Trigger: The user initiates the workflow by clicking the execute button.
- Create Domain Item (Function Item): Generates the domain information to be queried, with the default set to "n8n.io".
- Retrieve DNS Records (Uproc Node): Calls a third-party API using the preconfigured "miquel-uproc" credential to obtain the complete DNS record information for the domain.
Systems or Services Involved
- Uproc API: Utilizes the configured "miquel-uproc" API credential to access internet tools for retrieving domain DNS data.
- n8n Built-in Nodes: Includes Manual Trigger, Function Item, and custom call node (Uproc), among others.
Target Users and Value
- Suitable for network operations engineers, system administrators, developers, and security analysts who require rapid access to domain DNS information.
- Helps streamline the domain information query process, enhancing automation and data accuracy.
- Provides enterprises with convenient domain management support, aiding in network environment maintenance and risk mitigation.
Website Check
This workflow automatically accesses a specified website at scheduled intervals to check if the webpage content contains specific keywords, such as "Out Of Stock." Based on the detection results, it sends different alert messages via Discord, enabling real-time monitoring of the website's status. It is suitable for e-commerce sellers, procurement personnel, and others, helping users quickly become aware of inventory changes, improving the efficiency and accuracy of information retrieval, and avoiding the hassle of manually refreshing the webpage.
Manual Triggered File Download and Automatic Sharing to Slack
This workflow allows users to automatically download files from a specified URL through a simple manual trigger and upload them to a Slack channel with a custom comment. This process effectively addresses the cumbersome task of cross-platform file retrieval and team sharing, avoiding the repetitive downloading and uploading process. It ensures that team members can quickly access the latest resources, enhancing collaboration efficiency, and is particularly suitable for product managers, designers, and remote collaboration teams.
Create_Unique_Jira_Tickets_from_Splunk_Alerts
This workflow can automatically convert Splunk alerts into unique Jira tickets, preventing duplicate ticket creation. It intelligently assesses existing tickets and updates relevant information in real-time, ensuring data integrity and consistency. Additionally, it automatically standardizes hostname formats, enhancing the accuracy of ticket fields. This process significantly improves the response speed and management efficiency of security operations and IT operations teams, reduces manual intervention, lowers the risk of errors, and optimizes the alert handling process.
Example - Backup n8n to Nextcloud
This workflow automatically backs up workflow configurations to Nextcloud cloud storage to ensure data security. Users can choose to schedule tasks or manually trigger the backup process. The system retrieves workflow details by calling an API, merges and converts them into binary format, and then uploads them to the cloud for centralized management and convenient recovery. This solution is suitable for teams or individuals who need to regularly back up and protect workflow data, significantly improving operational efficiency and reducing the complexity of manual operations.
Dropbox Folder Change Monitoring and Automated Processing Workflow
This workflow monitors changes in a specified Dropbox folder in real-time through a Webhook, automatically detecting newly added or modified files. It filters out known files using a database to ensure that only new files trigger subsequent automated processing. It supports monitoring multiple folders and offers a flexible file filtering mechanism, enhancing the efficiency of file change management. This is suitable for scenarios such as content creation, team collaboration, and IT automation, significantly reducing manual intervention and improving work efficiency.
Weekly_Shodan_Query___Report_Accidents__no_function_node_
This workflow automatically monitors IP addresses and their ports within the enterprise's internal systems on a weekly basis. It utilizes the Shodan API to scan for open ports and services, promptly identifying any unexpected abnormal ports. The information is organized into a Markdown format report, which is then pushed to TheHive platform for quick response. Its core advantages lie in enhancing monitoring efficiency, reducing human oversight, ensuring network security, and helping the security team stay informed about potential risks, thereby building an efficient security protection system.
HaveIBeenPwned New Breach Monitoring and Alert Workflow
This workflow automatically monitors the leaked data on the HaveIBeenPwned website at scheduled intervals to detect new data breach incidents. When new leaked information is found, the system promptly triggers alerts to ensure that users can quickly respond to security risks. This process runs automatically every 15 minutes and employs an intelligent caching mechanism to avoid duplicate alerts. It supports flexible integration with various messaging platforms, enhancing the efficiency and responsiveness of information security monitoring, making it suitable for the security management needs of both individuals and businesses.
Backup to GitHub
This workflow is designed to automatically back up workflow configurations to a specified GitHub repository, ensuring data security and version management. It supports both scheduled and manual triggers, intelligently assesses the backup status to avoid duplicate writes, thereby optimizing storage efficiency. By utilizing a sub-workflow design, it reduces memory usage and enhances execution stability, helping users effectively mitigate the risk of data loss. It meets the needs of team collaboration and compliance auditing, making it an important tool for automated management.
