Action
Create New Firewall
Tool to create a new firewall. use when you need to define a firewall name and custom rules (requires at least one inbound and one outbound rule).
Why this helps
Firewall changes approved in documentation can wait days before someone applies them in DigitalOcean.
- Shorten the gap between approval and implementation
- Use documented rules as the source of intent
- Receive a clear report when required rules are missing
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Coda and DigitalOcean in Notis.
- 2Create an automation for the designated security page.
- 3Tell Notis to create a firewall from the page only when it includes a name, at least one inbound rule, and at least one outbound rule.
- 4Pick the Specific Coda Page Updated trigger and choose where reports go.
- 5Test with one approved security page update.
