Update Lockdown Rule

Tool to update a zone lockdown rule. Use when you need to modify the IP or URL settings of an existing Zone Lockdown rule after confirming the rule exists.

Why this helps

Rule changes can be delayed when the request and the existing Cloudflare rule are in different places.

  • Act on requests that identify the existing rule and intended changes.
  • Reduce manual transfer of updated URL or IP settings.
  • Surface requests that need rule identification or clarification.

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 update a lockdown rule only when the zone, rule ID, and requested new settings are explicit; report missing details otherwise.
  • 4Pick the Agent Mail New Email Received trigger and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real update request for an identified rule.

Questions about this workflow

What details should an update request include?

It should identify the zone and existing rule, and specify the new IP or URL settings.

Will it invent a rule ID?

No. Instruct Notis to ask for the identifier or report that the rule cannot be safely identified.
