Create a lockdown rule from a security keyword

A clearly marked security instruction can become a Cloudflare access restriction without delay.

Trigger

Keyword Detected in Document

Triggers when a specific keyword or phrase first appears in a Google Doc. This trigger monitors a Google Doc and fires once when the specified keyword is detected. After the keyword is found, the trigger will not fire again until reset.

Action

Create Zone Lockdown Rule

Tool to create a Zone Lockdown rule. Use when you need to restrict access to specific URL patterns to defined IPs/CIDR ranges. Use after confirming zone_id.

Why this helps

Urgent access restrictions get buried in long security documents.

  • Act on explicit security instructions quickly
  • Keep the source rationale in Google Docs
  • Reduce missed emergency changes

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Google Docs and Cloudflare api key in Notis.
  • 2Create an automation that reads the instruction and creates the specified lockdown rule after validating zone and CIDR details.
  • 3Pick Keyword Detected in Document as the trigger.
  • 4Choose a report channel and test with a controlled security instruction.
