Keep Cloudflare firewall reviews on the calendar
Firewall rules need occasional attention, but reviews are easy to let slide. Use a recurring Notis automation to place the reminder directly in Slack.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Create a reminder
Creates a slack reminder with specified text and time; time accepts unix timestamps, seconds from now, or natural language (e.g., 'in 15 minutes', 'every thursday at 2pm').
Why this helps
A firewall review can fall through the cracks when it relies on someone remembering to open Cloudflare.
- Put the review prompt where your team coordinates work.
- Create a repeatable review habit without relying on memory.
- Keep the reminder focused on the firewall review you define.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Cloudflare api key and Slack once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name the firewall review reminder.
- 3In one instruction, describe the review reminder and the Slack reminder details Notis should create.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real review reminder and confirm it appears in Slack.
Questions about this workflow
Does the automation inspect firewall rules before reminding me?
The workflow is grounded in the scheduled trigger and Slack reminder action. Include any Cloudflare context you want considered in the instruction or provide it with the run.
Can the schedule be changed later?
Yes. Edit the automation's schedule in the Notis portal.
