Create Zone Lockdown Rule
Tool to create a Zone Lockdown rule. Use when you need to restrict access to specific URL patterns to defined IPs/CIDR ranges. Use after confirming zone_id.
Why this helps
Security requests can get lost between email threads and the Cloudflare dashboard, or lack details needed to act safely.
- Capture clear requests to restrict access to URL patterns.
- Check that the zone, URL patterns, and IP ranges are specified.
- Leave unclear or incomplete requests for follow-up.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Agent Mail and Cloudflare api key once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation and give it a name and prompt in the portal or from any Notis channel.
- 3In one instruction, tell Notis to create a lockdown rule only when the request specifies the zone, URL patterns, and allowed IP ranges; otherwise report what is missing.
- 4Pick the Agent Mail New Email Received trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real request containing complete rule details.
