Create the Cloudflare ruleset described in an approved design

Turn an approved ruleset design into a Cloudflare ruleset while keeping scope explicit.

Trigger

Webhook received

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.

Action

Create Ruleset

Creates a ruleset to control traffic behavior.

Why this helps

A ruleset design can sit idle when the setup requires translating a long document into a precise Cloudflare configuration.

  • Reduce manual transcription of an approved design.
  • Make account or zone scope an explicit prerequisite.
  • Get a report if the design lacks required ruleset details.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Affinda and Cloudflare api key once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis the outcome in plain language.
  • 3In one instruction, ask Notis to create the account or zone scoped ruleset described in the approved document only after confirming the scope and required details.
  • 4Choose notis_webhook as the trigger and choose where run reports go.
  • 5Test with one approved design and confirm the intended scope.

Questions about this workflow

Can the workflow choose a scope on its own?

The document or webhook request should make the intended account or zone scope clear. If it does not, have Notis stop and report what is missing.

Does this create individual rules too?

The action creates a ruleset. This workflow should only include rule contents when they are explicitly provided and supported by the action.
