Competitor Access Blocking - Automatic Competitor IP Restriction
When competitors appear in your prospect database, Notis automatically blocks their IPs from accessing your zones via Cloudflare lockdown rules.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Update Lockdown Rule
Tool to update a zone lockdown rule. Use when you need to modify the IP or URL settings of an existing Zone Lockdown rule after confirming the rule exists.
Why this helps
Competitors access your infrastructure and sensitive deal data because you can't block them in real-time.
- Competitors cannot access your zones via known IPs
- Automatic IP blocking reduces manual security work
- Sensitive deal information is protected from competitors
- Real-time response to competitor threats
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect SalesRobot and Cloudflare integrations to Notis.
- 2Create an automation: 'When a prospect is tagged as competitor in SalesRobot, update the zone lockdown rules to block their company IP range.'
- 3Set trigger to 'Webhook from SalesRobot on competitor tag'. Choose your notification channel.
- 4Test by tagging a competitor prospect and verifying their IP is blocked in Cloudflare.
- 5Monitor zone access logs to confirm competitors cannot reach your resources.
Questions about this workflow
How does Notis get competitor IP addresses?
Store them in SalesRobot fields: 'Read competitor IPs from the prospect record's company-ip field.'
What if I want to allow some competitors but block others?
Use tags: 'Only block competitors tagged as high-threat. Allow those tagged as monitoring.'
Can I block IP ranges instead of single IPs?
Yes, tell Notis: 'Block the company CIDR range instead of single IPs.'
