Creating and managing templates

Learn how to create and manage DNS record templates for consistent and efficient DNS management.

Templates let you define reusable groups of DNS records that you can apply to future DNS requests. They help you work faster and keep DNS configurations consistent across projects or clients.

Creating a new template

  1. Go to Templates in your dashboard.
  2. Click Create template.
  3. Enter a clear, descriptive name (e.g. Email setup or CDN configuration).
  4. Add DNS records by choosing a record type, name, value, and optional TTL.
  5. Click Save.

Your new template will appear in the list and can be used when creating DNS requests.

Editing a template

You can update templates at any time to match new requirements.

  1. Open the Templates list.
  2. Select the template you want to edit.
  3. Add, modify, or remove DNS records as needed.
  4. Click Save changes.

Changes only affect new requests created after editing. Existing requests using the old version remain unchanged.

Deleting a template

To remove an unused or outdated template:

  1. Open the Templates list.
  2. Select the template.
  3. Click Delete and confirm.

Deleting a template cannot be undone, but it won’t affect any existing DNS requests.

Tips

  • Create purpose-specific templates: one for each setup (Email, CDN, Staging, etc.).
  • Review templates regularly to keep DNS records and provider settings up to date.
  • Use clear, consistent names that describe what the template does.
  • Build templates from proven DNS requests you’ve already verified.
  • Keep values generic. Avoid client-specific IPs or TXT tokens.
  • Test new templates on a safe domain before reusing them for clients.
