Manage Cloudflare from InfraNest
Manage Cloudflare DNS, domains and certificates from one place
Connect Cloudflare and stop switching to its dashboard for routine DNS and domain work.
- DNS records stay editable in one place. Create, edit and delete records across any zone, including the proxied setting, and every record keeps its own identity so a change made anywhere is reflected correctly rather than treated as a new one.
- Zones you already have show up without re-entry. Existing Cloudflare zones are found and imported automatically when you connect.
- Domain admin work moves out of the Cloudflare dashboard. Renew, lock or unlock transfers, toggle WHOIS privacy and auto-renew, and pull the transfer (EPP) code for domains registered at Cloudflare.
- Certificate expiry is tracked automatically. Your Cloudflare certificates appear in your certificate list with their expiry dates, instead of being checked one zone at a time.
- Cache and security settings can run on a trigger. Purge cache, toggle development mode, adjust the always-online setting, or change the security level in response to events like an expiring certificate or a changed DNS record.
NoteNew domain registration only works for domains already on Cloudflare — transfers in and brand-new registrations still happen on Cloudflare's own site.
What you can do
- Automatic zone and record import on connect
- Domain renewal, lock and WHOIS privacy controls
- Certificate expiry tracking alongside DNS
- Cache purge and security-level automation
- Multiple Cloudflare accounts in one view
Not supported
InfraNest can't transfer domains into Cloudflare or renew a transfer-in through this integration, and nameservers stay managed in the Cloudflare zone — both of those still happen in the Cloudflare dashboard. It also doesn't manage cloud infrastructure resources; those belong to a different integration.
How to connect it
- 1
Create a Cloudflare API token
Generate a token with Zone: Read, DNS: Edit, Cache: Purge, Zone Settings: Edit, Domain Registrar: Admin and SSL and Certificates: Read.
- 2
Open the Cloudflare integration
Go to Integrations and open Cloudflare. Give the connection an optional Account label to tell it apart from other connections.
- 3
Choose your features and paste the token
Select which of DNS, Domains and Certificates to use, then paste your API token. Add your Account ID only if the domains feature can't detect it automatically.
- 4
Connect
Leave email warnings ticked if you want to be notified when the integration has problems, then select Connect. Your existing zones appear automatically.

Questions
#What happens if the API token is revoked or expires?
Authentication fails and InfraNest will show an error until a valid token is added back. Nothing on Cloudflare is changed while the connection is broken; you'll just lose visibility and editing until it's reconnected.
#Can InfraNest change settings on my Cloudflare account, not just read them?
Yes — with the scopes above it can edit DNS records, change zone settings, purge cache, and manage domain settings like auto-renew, WHOIS privacy and transfer lock for domains registered at Cloudflare.
#Can I register a new domain through InfraNest?
Only for domains already on Cloudflare. Brand-new registrations and transfers in still need to be done directly in the Cloudflare dashboard.
#Can I connect more than one Cloudflare account?
Yes, multiple Cloudflare accounts can be connected at once, each with its own label so you can tell them apart.
#Do I need to re-add my zones after connecting?
No — existing zones and their records are found and imported automatically as soon as the connection is made.
