Turn an approved access policy into a Cloudflare restriction
Convert a documented access rule into a Cloudflare Zone Lockdown rule after confirming the zone and approved IP ranges.
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
Access restrictions can be delayed when policy details need to be re-read and transferred into Cloudflare by hand.
- Reduce repeated review of policy documents.
- Keep zone confirmation explicit before creating a restrictive rule.
- Get a report if the URL pattern or IP range is unclear.
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 extract the URL pattern and allowed IP or CIDR ranges and create a Zone Lockdown rule only after the zone_id is confirmed.
- 4Choose notis_webhook as the trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real policy document and confirmed zone.
Questions about this workflow
Does the document provide the zone_id automatically?
Only if the document or webhook request includes it. The prompt should have Notis stop and report if the zone_id is not confirmed.
What kind of rule does this create?
It creates a Cloudflare Zone Lockdown rule restricting access to URL patterns to defined IPs or CIDR ranges.
