Turn a security rule change in Sheets into a Cloudflare ruleset rule
Track a proposed security rule in a sheet and ask Notis to add it to the correct existing Cloudflare ruleset when the monitored range changes.
Trigger
Cell Range Values Changed
Triggers when values in a specified A1 range change in Google Sheets. This trigger monitors a specific cell or range of cells and fires when any values change.
Action
Create Rule in Ruleset
Tool to add a rule to an existing ruleset. Use when you need to append or insert a new rule in a Cloudflare ruleset.
Why this helps
Security rule updates can stall between a spreadsheet change and the separate Cloudflare configuration task.
- React to a change in a specific monitored range.
- Keep rule requests and their source in a spreadsheet.
- Avoid re-entering rule details by hand when the relevant range changes.
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 add the rule described by the changed range to a specified existing ruleset, including the needed scope and ruleset details.
- 4Pick Cell Range Values Changed as the trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real range change and a confirmed target ruleset.
Questions about this workflow
Does this create a new ruleset?
No. This workflow uses the Create Rule in Ruleset action, which adds a rule to an existing ruleset. Provide the correct ruleset context in your instruction.
What does the range trigger monitor?
It monitors values in a specified A1 range and fires when any values change.
Can a spreadsheet alone supply every ruleset detail?
Only if the needed details are present in the changed values or included in your instruction. Supply the intended scope and ruleset context.
