Create a firewall from security documents
Keep infrastructure policy and firewall setup connected.
Trigger
Document Search Update
Triggers when a Google Doc matching a user-defined search query is newly created or updated since the last poll. This trigger uses timestamp filtering to efficiently monitor documents.
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 rules are easy to delay when security decisions live separately from infrastructure work.
- Keeps firewall creation tied to approved policy
- Reduces rule transcription errors
- Surfaces missing rule details before execution
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Docs and DigitalOcean in Notis once.
- 2Create an automation named Security plan to firewall.
- 3Tell Notis to find matching security plans and create a firewall only when it has a valid name plus inbound and outbound rules.
- 4Pick Document Search Update with your search query and choose a report destination.
- 5Test with one matching security plan.
