Update a lockdown rule after a Slack approval
Connect a clear approval signal to a carefully identified Cloudflare access rule adjustment.
Trigger
Message Reaction Added
Triggered when a reaction is added to a message in Slack. Supports optional filtering by channel and emoji name.
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
Approved access changes can be lost between the discussion and the manual dashboard update.
- Tie the change to an explicit review signal.
- Keep the target rule and its approval in one conversation.
- Reduce the chance that access changes wait unnoticed.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Cloudflare api key to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Write a prompt requiring the designated approval reaction, complete adjustment details, and the exact zone and rule.
- 3Select Message Reaction Added and choose where Notis reports runs.
- 4Test on one approved change and verify the updated rule in Cloudflare.
Questions about this workflow
Can a reaction alone specify the new settings?
No. The message needs complete, reviewed URL and IP or CIDR details plus the rule identifier.
What if the wrong rule is referenced?
Require Notis to verify the target identifiers and ask for clarification if there is any ambiguity.
