Turn reviewed access requests into Zone Lockdown rules
Submit a restriction request through a webhook. Notis uses Abstract to process the request, then creates the specified Cloudflare rule after the zone is identified.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create Zone Lockdown Rule
Creates a rule to restrict access to URL patterns to specified IP addresses.
Why this helps
Urgent access restrictions can get buried in chat, leaving teams to reconstruct URL patterns and permitted IP ranges later.
- Convert a structured request into a lockdown rule.
- Keep the URL pattern and allowed IP ranges attached to the request.
- Reduce delays between reviewing a request and applying a restriction.
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 submitted restriction request with Abstract and create the specified Zone Lockdown rule after confirming the zone identifier.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real request in a suitable zone, using a narrow URL pattern and intended IP range.
Questions about this workflow
What does the request need to contain?
Provide the zone identifier, URL pattern, and IP addresses or CIDR ranges that should be allowed. Abstract can process the request text, but those values must come from the request.
Does Abstract decide which IP addresses are safe?
No. The IP ranges need to be supplied by your team. Abstract's text processing does not establish whether an IP range is authorized.
Why confirm the zone identifier?
The action requires the correct zone. Confirming it helps prevent applying the restriction to the wrong site.
