Bring Cloudflare firewall rules into a WhatsApp security review
When a security concern arrives in chat, retrieve the current firewall rules for the zone so the team can review what is already in place.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
List Firewall Rules
Tool to list firewall rules for a specific zone. use after confirming the zone id to retrieve and audit current firewall rules.
Why this helps
A security question in WhatsApp can lead to a rushed change before anyone has checked the zone's existing firewall rules.
- Surface existing rules during a security discussion.
- Keep review requests tied to the zone they concern.
- Avoid treating a chat message as enough context to change firewall settings.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect 2chat and Cloudflare once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a clear name.
- 3Describe that Notis should use a WhatsApp security request supplied to its webhook to retrieve and summarize firewall rules only when a confirmed zone ID is included.
- 4Choose the notis_webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real request for a zone whose ID you can verify.
Questions about this workflow
Does this change firewall rules?
No. The available action lists firewall rules for a zone so they can be reviewed.
Can it infer the zone from the WhatsApp conversation?
Only if the request supplies enough reliable information to identify the zone. Ask Notis to request clarification when the zone ID is uncertain.
