Keep a recurring inventory of Cloudflare WAF lists
Make WAF list inventory a routine check, with the current list metadata delivered in a run report.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
List WAF Lists
Lists the WAF lists in an account.
Why this helps
WAF list reviews are easy to postpone when the inventory is only checked during other Cloudflare work.
- Retrieve the account's WAF lists on a recurring schedule.
- Review the available list metadata in one report.
- Avoid relying on memory to revisit list inventory.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Abstract and Cloudflare once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Tell Notis which account to inspect, to list its WAF lists, and to summarize the returned metadata.
- 4Choose the recurring schedule and where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real example using a Cloudflare account you can identify.
Questions about this workflow
Does the action retrieve WAF list items?
No. It fetches WAF lists without their items, so the report covers list metadata only.
Can this workflow delete unused lists?
No. It inventories lists for review. Deletion requires a separate action and confirming no filters reference the list.
