- Creates a searchable change note
- Helps future reviews start with the reason for the change

- 2Create an automation and instruct Notis to write a firewall change note using webhook context and relevant available Cloudflare information.
- 3Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 4Test with one real change request and check the resulting Drive document.
