Send a Gmail notice after a requested Cloudflare firewall change
Make a specific firewall request and keep a notice of the result in your inbox.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Send Email
Sends an email via gmail api using the authenticated user's google profile display name, requiring `is html=true` if the body contains html and valid `s3key`, `mimetype`, `name` for any attachment.
Why this helps
Important security changes can be hard to track when the request and its outcome live in different places.
- Start a specified firewall task from an HTTP request.
- Record the requested change and available outcome in Gmail.
- Keep the notification focused on information returned by Cloudflare.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Cloudflare api key and Gmail once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name and prompt.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to perform the specified firewall task from the webhook request and send a Gmail notice with the request and available result.
- 4Pick a webhook as the trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real example and confirm the email content and recipient.
