Keep Cloudflare WAF list descriptions current with Box
When a security runbook is added to its Box folder, ask Notis to update the description of the Cloudflare WAF list it explicitly identifies.
Trigger
New Item Added to Folder
Triggers when a new item (file, folder, or web link) is added to a folder in Box. This trigger monitors a specific Box folder and fires when new items are detected.
Action
Update WAF List
Tool to update the description of a waf list (cannot update items). use after confirming list metadata.
Why this helps
Security context for a WAF list can drift when the runbook is updated but the Cloudflare description stays stale.
- Keep list descriptions useful for future reviews.
- Reduce the chance that security context stays buried in a document.
- Get a report when the runbook does not identify an existing list.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Box and Cloudflare once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it for WAF list documentation.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to read the new runbook and update only the description of the explicitly identified existing WAF list.
- 4Choose New Item Added to Folder as the trigger and select the Box security folder.
- 5Choose a report channel, then test with one real runbook naming the list and its revised description.
Questions about this workflow
Can this change the entries in a WAF list?
No. The available action updates the list description only, not its items.
What if the runbook does not name a WAF list?
Tell Notis to report that the list identifier is missing and make no Cloudflare change.
