Build a firewall from an IP review request
Send an IP and the intended firewall rules to Notis. Abstract adds available IP context, and DigitalOcean creates the firewall using the rules in your request.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create New Firewall
Creates a cloud firewall with custom traffic rules.
Why this helps
A network access request can require looking up IP context, reviewing the requested rules, and then rebuilding those details in DigitalOcean.
- Add available IP context before handling the request
- Use rules supplied directly in the request
- Reduce repetitive setup during firewall provisioning
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Abstract and DigitalOcean once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name and prompt.
- 3In one instruction, tell Notis to enrich the supplied IP with Abstract and create a firewall using the firewall name and inbound and outbound rules in the request.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real request containing an IP address and at least one inbound and one outbound rule.
Questions about this workflow
Does Abstract decide which firewall rules to use?
No. Include the intended rules in the request. Abstract enriches the supplied IP, and DigitalOcean requires at least one inbound and one outbound rule.
Can I use this to respond to an IP-related alert?
Yes, if the alerting system sends a webhook with the IP and the firewall rules you want applied. The workflow creates a firewall; it does not modify an existing one.
