Update Lockdown Rule

Tool to update a zone lockdown rule. Use when you need to modify the IP or URL settings of an existing Zone Lockdown rule after confirming the rule exists.

Why this helps

A small access restriction change can sit in chat while you track down the correct existing rule in Cloudflare.

  • Apply changes to a known existing lockdown rule.
  • Keep the requested IP or URL settings in the initiating request.
  • Review a run report after the rule update.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect 2chat and Cloudflare api key in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create a Notis automation and describe how to update the specified Zone Lockdown rule.
  • 3Choose the Notis webhook trigger and configure the caller to send the zone, rule ID, and requested settings.
  • 4Choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real change request for a rule you have confirmed.

Questions about this workflow

Can this create a new lockdown rule?

No. This workflow updates an existing rule. Creating one requires a different action and a confirmed zone.

What does the request need?

Include the zone, existing rule ID, and the requested IP or URL pattern settings.

Does 2chat provide the trigger?

No. The workflow starts from a Notis webhook HTTP request because no 2chat trigger event is listed.
