Why this helps
Access updates can be missed when the new approved settings are recorded away from the existing Cloudflare rule.
- Update the specified existing rule with approved settings.
- Require a confirmed zone and lockdown rule identifier.
- Report the settings applied so the change is reviewable.

- 1Connect Affinity and Cloudflare api key once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it for access rule updates.
- 3In one instruction, tell Notis to apply only the supplied changes to the identified existing lockdown rule.
- 4Pick the Notis webhook trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one approved update and verify the target rule and new settings in the report.
Questions about this workflow
Can it create a missing lockdown rule?
No. This workflow updates an existing rule; creation is a separate action.
What if the rule ID is unclear?
Notis should ask for the confirmed rule ID and avoid modifying a different rule.
