Turn a reviewed security brief into a ruleset update
Set a schedule for Notis to process a rule brief with Abstract and add the specified rule to an existing Cloudflare ruleset when its scope and identifiers are provided.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Create Rule in Ruleset
Adds a rule to an existing ruleset.
Why this helps
Approved security changes can sit in planning documents while someone remembers to apply them to the right ruleset.
- Give approved rule changes a predictable application time.
- Use Abstract to process the supplied brief into an actionable instruction.
- Keep ruleset identifiers and intended changes explicit.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Abstract and Cloudflare api key once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a clear name.
- 3Tell Notis in one instruction to process the supplied security brief with Abstract and add its specified rule to the named existing ruleset.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real brief and the correct ruleset identifiers before relying on the schedule.
Questions about this workflow
Where does the security brief come from?
The brief and the identifiers for the existing ruleset must be supplied for the automation to process. Abstract does not provide a trigger or a source for the brief in this workflow.
Can this create a new ruleset?
No. This workflow adds a rule to an existing ruleset. Creating a ruleset is a separate Cloudflare action.
What should I verify before enabling the schedule?
Confirm the ruleset scope and identifier, review the intended rule, and test once with a real brief.
