Carry an Approved Incident Request into Cloudflare
Keep an explicitly approved zone response from getting lost in a busy incident channel.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Update Cloudflare Zone
Tool to edit a Cloudflare zone. Use when you need to update a single zone property at a time. Ensure only one of paused, type, or vanity_name_servers is provided per call.
Why this helps
During an incident, a high-impact zone change can be delayed or applied to the wrong zone if the request is unclear.
- Tie the zone change to an explicit approval request.
- Require a confirmed zone identifier in the instruction.
- Send a clear report for incident follow-up.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Ably and Cloudflare api key once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3Tell Notis to pause only the zone identified by an approved incident request containing its confirmed zone ID.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with a real approved request in a safe operational window and verify the targeted zone.
Questions about this workflow
Can Notis choose a zone based on a hostname alone?
Use a confirmed zone ID or otherwise unambiguous zone details; do not rely on a guess.
Will an ordinary incident event pause a zone?
Set the instruction to require explicit approval and a clear request to pause the zone.
