Check DNS Propagation in Google Sheets & Excel

What this pulls

Watch DNS spread across the globe from a cell. Returns per-server results down a column — Sheets or Excel.

It's one of 250+ live sources you reach with a single =VERVE() function — served from APIVerve's production data engine, billed at 15 credits per resolved cell, and refreshed on whatever cadence you set. No API keys to wrangle, no scripts, no exports.

Ways to use it

Audit a list of domains

Put your domains in a column and fill =VERVE("dnspropagation", "google.com", "field", "recordType") to pull each one's records or health into the grid — a whole portfolio checked at once.

Enrich a prospect sheet

Add domain intelligence beside your leads so sales or security can sort and prioritize without leaving the sheet.

Monitor on a schedule

Let auto-refresh re-check every domain periodically so a monitoring sheet flags changes on its own.

Use it in your sheet

The same function works in both apps — install once, sign in with your key, and type it into any cell.

Google SheetsAdd-on

Install from the Workspace Marketplace, then drop the formula into a cell. Autocomplete suggests the source and its fields.

=VERVE("dnspropagation", "google.com", "field", "recordType")

Microsoft ExcelAdd-in

Same source, same arguments, same key — in Excel on desktop, the web, or mobile. Excel namespaces it as VERVE.CALL. Drag to fill a whole column.

=VERVE.CALL("dnspropagation", "google.com", "field", "recordType")

Optional inputs

Tune the result by adding name=value before the field argument — in any order. Leave one out and its default applies.

=VERVE("dnspropagation", "google.com", "type", "A")

Fields you can pull

Add a field name as the last argument to land just that value in the cell.

Record Type
=VERVE("dnspropagation", "google.com", "field", "recordType")
Propagation Complete
=VERVE("dnspropagation", "google.com", "field", "propagationComplete")
Servers Checked
=VERVE("dnspropagation", "google.com", "field", "serversChecked")
Servers Responded
=VERVE("dnspropagation", "google.com", "field", "serversResponded")
Unique Responses
=VERVE("dnspropagation", "google.com", "field", "uniqueResponses")
Results
=VERVE("dnspropagation", "google.com", "field", "results")
Results › Server
=VERVE("dnspropagation", "google.com", "field", "results.0.server")
Results › Location
=VERVE("dnspropagation", "google.com", "field", "results.0.location")
Results › Ip
=VERVE("dnspropagation", "google.com", "field", "results.0.ip")
Results › Success
=VERVE("dnspropagation", "google.com", "field", "results.0.success")
Results › Records
=VERVE("dnspropagation", "google.com", "field", "results.0.records")
Results › Response TimePremium
=VERVE("dnspropagation", "google.com", "field", "results.0.responseTime")

Premium marks data included on paid plans. On the Free plan a marked field is withheld and a marked input is ignored — either way the cell reads #PREMIUM(name) instead of a value, so a gated answer can never be mistaken for a real one. Everything unmarked works on every plan. Compare plans

Check DNS Propagation, answered

Everything you need to wire it into a sheet.

How do I pull Check DNS Propagation into Google Sheets?

Install the VerveSheets add-on, sign in once with your key, and type =VERVE("dnspropagation", "google.com", "field", "recordType") into any cell. The "field" argument names the value you want back, so the cell resolves to a single number or string you can chart, sort, or feed into another formula.

What data can I pull from Check DNS Propagation?

Check DNS Propagation returns recordType, propagationComplete, serversChecked, serversResponded and uniqueResponses, plus 6 more — name any one of them as the "field" argument and that value lands in the cell. Leave the field out and the whole record spills into a two-column table instead.

Can I narrow what Check DNS Propagation returns?

Yes — Check DNS Propagation takes "type" as optional inputs. They go in as "name", value pairs after the required ones, in any order, so =VERVE("dnspropagation", "google.com", "type", "A") shapes the result without changing anything else.

Which Check DNS Propagation fields need a paid plan?

results.0.responseTime is included from the Starter plan up. On the Free plan the cell returns #PREMIUM(field) rather than a wrong or empty value, so it's always obvious which one to upgrade for. Every other field works on Free.

Can I fill a whole column of Check DNS Propagation at once?

Yes. Put your domain values down a column and point the formula at the range — A2:A50 instead of A2 — and one call returns a value for every row. Dragging the formula down works too, but the range form is a single billed call per column rather than one per cell.

How many credits does each Check DNS Propagation cell cost?

Each resolved cell costs 15 credits. A cell only re-bills when it actually refreshes, so a sheet you aren't touching doesn't keep charging.

Does Check DNS Propagation work in Excel as well as Google Sheets?

Yes — same arguments, same key, same fields. Excel namespaces custom functions, so the call is =VERVE.CALL() there and =VERVE() in Google Sheets; nothing else about it changes.
