Notify about DNS records propagation


Hi there, I always had the pain of constantly dig'ing for a domain, and checking if the new expected IP address (or any other record type really) is finally written and propagated into all relevant resolvers.

So, I was thinking about automating this, wiring it up to email notifications or slack.. And webhooks would be cool - you could do some cool automation with those (chain with issuing a SSL cert)!!

Just wondering if I'm the only one who would pay a few bucks for this, or you guys don't share this pain point at all.

Have a magnificent day!

Do you mean something that looks up the IP from multiple locations like whatsmydns? [1] or do you mean it does this hourly to alert on changes?
