Action
List All Firewalls

Why this helps
Firewall reviews are easy to defer when they depend on someone remembering to open the account.
- Create a recurring reminder with the inventory attached.
- Share firewall review context in Ably.
- Avoid manual list gathering before each review.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Ably and DigitalOcean once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation for firewall inventory reviews.
- 3Tell Notis to list firewalls and summarize the returned information without judging rules against unstated policy.
- 4Choose a recurring schedule and run report channel.
- 5Test with one real inventory run.
Questions about this workflow
Does the workflow decide whether a firewall is secure?
No. It can summarize returned firewall information, but a security judgment needs criteria supplied by the user.
Can I filter the firewall list?
The list action supports optional pagination. Any desired interpretation should be described in the instruction.
