Flag Cloudflare security updates in Slack
Make incoming security updates easier to notice. Send the event details to a Notis webhook and have Notis react to the relevant Slack message.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Add reaction to message
Adds a specified emoji reaction to an existing message in a slack channel, identified by its timestamp; does not remove or retrieve reactions.
Why this helps
Security updates can disappear in a busy channel before the right person notices them.
- Make an important security-related message stand out in Slack.
- Use an incoming webhook as the start point despite the absence of Cloudflare trigger events.
- Keep the signal attached to the message the team is already discussing.
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 security signal workflow.
- 3Describe how Notis should interpret the webhook details and react to the relevant Slack message.
- 4Pick a Notis webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real security update and verify the reaction appears on the intended message.
