How to connect a DNS provider

Connect Cloudflare, GoDaddy, Namecheap, or another supported provider to enable automated remediation.

BusinessAgency·6 min read

The situation

Without a connected DNS provider, Infraova can monitor and detect — but cannot execute approved remediations automatically. Connecting a provider gives Infraova the operational access needed to propose exact fixes and execute them after approval.

Before you begin

API credentials for the DNS provider
Access to the provider account that manages the domain
Understanding of which domains are managed by that provider

For agencies: When connecting a client's DNS provider, confirm the client is aware that Infraova will have API access. Infraova never changes DNS automatically — every change requires your explicit approval.

The operational path

01Choose provider
02Provide credentials
03Authorize
04Import domains
05Verify

The goal isn't just to find the error. The goal is to move from detection to a verified infrastructure state.

What could have caused this?

Cause

What changed

Possible impact

No provider connected

Remediation requires manual DNS editing

Slower resolution, more manual work

Wrong credentials

API authentication fails

Connection cannot be established

Insufficient permissions

Read-only access only

Infraova can read but not write records

Step by step

01Select your DNS provider

Navigate to the DNS provider integration in Infraova and select the provider that manages the domains you want to connect.

What to check

✓Go to Integrations → DNS Providers
✓Select the provider (Cloudflare, GoDaddy, Namecheap, Porkbun, DigitalOcean, Vercel, Route 53, or Squarespace)
✓Review what the connection enables before proceeding
02Provide API credentials

Each provider requires different credentials. Follow the provider-specific instructions to generate the correct API key or token.

What to check

✓Generate an API token or key from the provider's settings
✓Ensure the token has the minimum required permissions (DNS read and write)
✓Copy the credential and paste it into the Infraova connection form

With Infraova

Infraova never stores credentials in plain text. Provider credentials are encrypted and used only to execute approved DNS changes.

03Import and assign domains

After the connection is authorized, Infraova pulls the list of domains managed by that provider.

What to check

✓Review the list of imported domains
✓Assign domains to the correct client in your portfolio
✓Confirm which domains should be actively monitored

Expected result: Domains are now imported and connected to the provider.

04Verify the connection

Confirm the connection is working by reviewing the connection status.

What to check

✓Check the provider connection status shows as active
✓Confirm imported domains appear in the domain list
✓Trigger a scan on one domain to confirm end-to-end connectivity

Expected result: The provider is connected. Approved remediations will execute through this connection.

You decide. Infraova executes.

Infraova can propose and execute an approved infrastructure change, but it does not independently decide to modify client infrastructure. Every proposed change requires explicit authorization before execution.

Key takeaway

Connecting a DNS provider takes a few minutes and unlocks the full operational loop — from detection to approved remediation to verified result.

Turn this playbook into a continuous workflow

Without Infraova

Someone discovers the issue
↓Someone investigates manually
↓Someone decides what to do
↓Someone makes the change
↓Someone checks whether it worked

With Infraova
