Update a Cloudflare rule after Slack approval

Carry a reviewed rule adjustment into Cloudflare without leaving it on someone's follow-up list.

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

Update Rule in Ruleset

Tool to update a specific rule in a ruleset. Use when you need to modify a rule's configuration or reorder it after reviewing its current settings.

Why this helps

A small rule correction can linger after approval when the person who reviewed it must remember to switch tools and apply it.

  • Connect an approved change to the exact rule being revised.
  • Reduce overlooked follow-through after a security review.
  • Keep run status visible to the team.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Slack and Cloudflare api key through the Notis portal once.
  • 2Create an automation prompt requiring explicit approval and the exact ruleset and rule identifiers.
  • 3Choose Slack Channel Message Received and select where run reports should appear.
  • 4Test with one real approved change and verify the updated rule in Cloudflare.

Questions about this workflow

Will it update a rule based on a vague request?

No. Instruct Notis to ask for clarification unless the exact target and approved change are clear.

Can it reorder a rule?

The action supports modifying a rule or its order; state the intended change clearly in the approved request.
