Instant WAF Blocklists for Security Incidents

Comment an IP in a Linear security issue, and Notis creates a Cloudflare WAF list to block it. No delays, no manual work, no context-switching during incident response.

Trigger

Comment Received Trigger

Triggered when a comment is received.

Action

Create WAF List

Tool to create a new empty waf list for the account. use after confirming the account id. example: create list(account id="<id>", kind="ip", name="blocklist")

Why this helps

During a security incident, you're toggling between Linear, Slack, and Cloudflare to create WAF lists and block IPs. Every context-switch costs seconds you don't have.

  • Response time drops from minutes to seconds
  • Stay in Linear during incident response
  • Clear audit trail in Linear comments
  • No manual Cloudflare list creation

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Linear and Cloudflare to Notis via the portal.
  • 2Tell Notis: 'When a comment is posted on a Linear issue, if it contains an IP address, create a WAF list in Cloudflare with that IP.' Choose Comment Received as the trigger and set your reporting channel.
  • 3Tag or assign security incident issues to yourself or a specific team in Linear.
  • 4During an incident, comment an IP in the issue (e.g., 'Block 192.168.1.1') and Notis creates a WAF list immediately. Test this flow with a test IP.

Questions about this workflow

What if I comment a range of IPs?

You can tell Notis during setup: 'Extract all IPs or CIDR blocks from comments and add them to a single WAF list.' Or create separate lists for each IP.

Will Notis block internal IPs by accident?

Notis can filter by IP range. Tell it to ignore ranges like 10.0.0.0/8 or 127.0.0.1 if you're concerned.

Can I review before the list is created?

Notis will report the IP and list creation in your channel before applying it. You have a chance to cancel if needed.
