Automated Njalla DNS Change Handoff

Every morning, WebRun opens Njalla, reads the current DNS and nameserver records for each domain, compares them against what a new site or service actually needs, writes up the exact change required in a Google Drive doc, and hands it to a teammate in Slack to make.

In short

How do I hand off a Njalla DNS change to my team without guesswork?

WebRun reads the current DNS and nameserver records for your Njalla domains every morning, compares them against what a new site or service actually needs, and writes up the exact change required in a Google Drive doc. It hands that doc to a teammate in Slack to execute, so DNS changes stay specific and reviewed instead of guessed under pressure.

  • DNS changes get a written, specific request instead of a guess
  • A teammate always makes the actual edit, never WebRun
  • Every change request is documented in Drive before it's made

Questions, answered

Does WebRun change the DNS records itself?

No. WebRun only reads current records and writes up exactly what needs to change. Making the actual edit in Njalla stays a manual step a teammate takes.

Why not just edit the record directly, since it reads the account anyway?

DNS changes can take a site offline if done wrong. Writing a clear, specific request and handing it to a person keeps a human in control of anything that touches live DNS.

What does the handoff actually include?

The domain, the exact record type, and the correct value needed, written up in a doc so the teammate making the change has everything in one place.

Put this on autopilot.
