Create a Cloudflare ruleset from an approved email
Act on a fully specified ruleset request without re-entering its setup details by hand.
Trigger
New Gmail Message Received Trigger
Triggers when a new message is received in Gmail.
Action
Create Ruleset
Tool to create an account- or zone-scoped ruleset. Use after defining your ruleset details and selecting the correct scope.
Why this helps
Ruleset creation can be delayed by scattered instructions and repeated manual entry.
- Reduce manual entry for explicit ruleset creation requests.
- Keep the requested scope and outcome in a run report.
- Flag underspecified ruleset requests for follow-up.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Gmail and Cloudflare api key once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to create a ruleset only when the message clearly authorizes it and states the account or zone scope and required details.
- 4Pick New Gmail Message Received Trigger as the trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real, authorized ruleset creation request.
Questions about this workflow
Can this decide whether the ruleset is account or zone scoped?
The request must state its intended scope. Have Notis report missing scope rather than infer it.
Does it add rules later?
This workflow creates a ruleset. Adding rules is a separate action.
