Apply approved Cloudflare lockdown requests from Slack

Move a confirmed access restriction request from Slack into Cloudflare with the right zone and scope spelled out.

Trigger

Channel Message Received

Triggered when a message is posted in a Slack channel (public, private, or multi-party IM). Does NOT match direct messages.

Action

Create Zone Lockdown Rule

Tool to create a Zone Lockdown rule. Use when you need to restrict access to specific URL patterns to defined IPs/CIDR ranges. Use after confirming zone_id.

Why this helps

Security follow-ups can be easy to miss when access restrictions are discussed across busy channels.

  • Keep approved access changes from sitting in a thread.
  • Require a clearly identified zone and restriction details.
  • Maintain a report of automation runs in a channel the team checks.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Slack and Cloudflare api key once through the Notis portal.
  • 2Create a new automation and write one prompt requiring explicit approval plus a confirmed zone and URL/IP details.
  • 3Select Slack Channel Message Received and choose the run-report channel.
  • 4Test with one real, approved request and confirm the rule details in Cloudflare.

Questions about this workflow

Will it act on a proposed restriction?

The prompt should require explicit approval and complete details; Notis should ask for missing information rather than create a rule.

What information should the Slack request include?

It should identify the Cloudflare zone, URL patterns, and allowed IP addresses or CIDR ranges, along with clear approval.
