Route reviewed rule retirement requests from Sheets to Cloudflare
Capture rule retirements in a sheet, then let Notis remove the specified rule from its confirmed ruleset and report the result.
Trigger
New Rows in Google Sheet
Simple polling trigger that monitors Google Sheets for new rows. Detects when new rows are added and returns the complete row data. Perfect for triggering any workflow based on new sheet entries.
Action
Delete Rule from Ruleset
Tool to delete a specific rule from a ruleset. Use when you need to remove an outdated or incorrect rule from an account or zone ruleset after confirming IDs.
Why this helps
Rules marked for retirement can remain active when the request is separated from the Cloudflare cleanup task.
- Start a rule retirement from a new row.
- Keep the retirement request and its context together.
- Reduce manual follow-up for known, confirmed rule IDs.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Sheets and Cloudflare api key once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Tell Notis to delete only the specified rule from the confirmed ruleset when a retirement request is added.
- 4Pick New Rows in Google Sheet as the trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one reviewed request row containing confirmed ruleset and rule IDs.
Questions about this workflow
What details are required?
Identify the ruleset and the specific rule ID, with the correct account or zone scope.
Does it delete an entire ruleset?
No. It deletes one specific rule from a ruleset. Deleting a ruleset is a separate action.
Can it decide which rules are outdated?
No. A reviewed request must identify the rule to delete.
