Interact with mittwald mStudio API

Overview

This node operation allows you to set a DNS record set as managed within a specified DNS zone. It is useful when you want to programmatically control DNS records, for example, to automate DNS management tasks such as updating or delegating control of specific DNS record sets in your domain's DNS zone.

Practical examples include:

  • Automating the management of DNS records during deployment processes.
  • Delegating control of certain DNS records to external services or teams.
  • Ensuring DNS record sets are marked as managed to enable further automated updates or monitoring.

Properties

Name Meaning
Dns Zone Id The unique identifier of the DNS zone where the record set exists and will be managed.
Record Set The type of DNS record set to set as managed. Options: A (Address record), Mx (Mail exchange record).

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the result of setting the specified DNS record set to managed status. This typically includes confirmation details such as the DNS zone ID, the record set affected, and the status of the operation.

No binary data output is expected from this operation.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential to authenticate with the mittwald mStudio API.
  • The node communicates with the mittwald API endpoint at https://api.mittwald.de.
  • Proper configuration of the API authentication credentials in n8n is necessary.

Troubleshooting

  • Invalid DNS Zone Id: If the provided DNS Zone Id does not exist or is incorrect, the API may return an error indicating the zone was not found. Verify the DNS Zone Id is correct.
  • Unsupported Record Set Type: Only A and Mx record types are supported. Using other types will likely cause errors.
  • Authentication Errors: Ensure that the API key credential is valid and has sufficient permissions to modify DNS zones.
  • Network Issues: Connectivity problems to the mittwald API endpoint can cause timeouts or failures. Check network access and proxy settings if applicable.
