Keep a lockdown rule aligned with reviewed IP changes
Use a recurring schedule to process a supplied IP update note and change an existing Zone Lockdown rule after its zone and rule identifiers are provided.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Update Lockdown Rule
Updates an existing zone lockdown rule.
Why this helps
When an allowed IP range changes, an existing restriction can remain out of date until someone finds the right rule and updates it.
- Make planned IP range changes easier to carry through.
- Keep the target rule and zone explicit in each update.
- Reduce manual searching for existing lockdown rules.
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 IP update note with Abstract and update the specified existing Zone Lockdown rule with the reviewed URL and IP settings.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real update and confirm the zone and rule identifiers before using the schedule.
Questions about this workflow
What information must be supplied for an update?
Provide the zone ID, existing lockdown rule ID, and the reviewed URL and IP settings. Abstract can process the note but does not supply those identifiers.
Will this discover changing IP addresses automatically?
No. The IP change note must be supplied. This workflow does not monitor an external IP source.
Does the action create a new rule?
No. It updates an existing Zone Lockdown rule, so the rule must already exist and be identified.
