Overview

This node operation updates a DNS record set within a specified DNS zone. It is useful for managing DNS configurations programmatically, such as modifying A, MX, TXT, SRV, CNAME, or CAA records without manually accessing the DNS provider's dashboard. Practical applications include automating domain management tasks during deployments, updating mail server records, or adjusting service discovery entries.

Properties

Name Meaning
Dns Zone Id The unique identifier of the DNS zone where the record set will be updated.
Record Set The type of DNS record to update. Options: A, Mx, Txt, Srv, Cname, Caa

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the result of the DNS record set update operation. This typically includes confirmation details such as the updated record information or status messages from the API. There is no indication that binary data is output by this node.

Dependencies

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

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:
    • Invalid or missing DNS Zone ID can cause the update to fail.
    • Incorrect record set type selection may lead to errors or unexpected behavior.
    • Authentication failures if the API key credential is not configured correctly.
  • Error messages:
    • Authorization errors indicate problems with the API key; verify and reconfigure credentials.
    • Not found errors suggest the DNS Zone ID does not exist or is inaccessible.
    • Validation errors may occur if the record set data is malformed or incomplete.
