Why this helps
Unused security lists accumulate when cleanup work has no clear follow-through.
- Reduce unused security objects
- Keep deletion context visible
- Support deliberate cleanup
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Outlook and Cloudflare in Notis once.
- 2Create an automation named WAF list cleanup.
- 3Tell Notis to delete a WAF list only when the email confirms the account and list identifiers and says references were checked.
- 4Choose New Outlook Message as the trigger and select a report channel.
- 5Test it with one approved cleanup request.
Questions about this workflow
Does it verify filters automatically?
The message should confirm that references were checked before deletion.
What if the list id is missing?
Notis can flag the request as incomplete.
