Review Cloudflare firewall rules from Slack
When a teammate asks for a firewall review in Slack, Notis can fetch the current rules for the named zone so the review can start with current information.
Trigger
Channel Message Received

Action
List Firewall Rules
Tool to list firewall rules for a specific zone. use after confirming the zone id to retrieve and audit current firewall rules.
Why this helps
A small audit request can become a context-switching task when you have to locate the zone and open its rules manually.
- Start an audit from the conversation where the need was raised.
- Avoid searching the dashboard just to retrieve the current rule set.
- Give the team a predictable run report.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Cloudflare to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal, or ask Notis to retrieve firewall rules for Slack audit requests.
- 3In one plain-language instruction, specify that Notis should act only on clear audit requests with an identifiable zone.
- 4Choose the Slack channel message trigger and select the channel for run reports.
- 5Test with a real review request for a known zone.
