Update a Cloudflare lockdown rule from an edited message

When access details change, edit the Telegram policy request and have Notis update the identified lockdown rule's settings.

Trigger

Message Edited

Triggered when a message in a chat your bot can see is edited by its sender.

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

Changing approved access details can get lost when an updated message does not reach the person handling Cloudflare.

  • Tie policy corrections to the message that changed.
  • Keep rule updates from being overlooked after an edit.
  • Focus the update on the identified rule's IP or URL settings.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Telegram and Cloudflare api key to Notis once through the portal.
  • 2Create an automation in the portal or by asking Notis in plain language.
  • 3Give one instruction to update a lockdown rule only when an edited message explicitly requests a change and identifies the zone, rule, and replacement IP or URL settings.
  • 4Select Message Edited as the trigger and set a channel for run reports.
  • 5Test using a controlled policy message and a non-production rule.

Questions about this workflow

Which parts of a rule can this action change?

It updates the IP or URL settings of an existing Zone Lockdown rule.

What if the message lacks the rule identifier?

The instruction should have Notis ask for the missing identification rather than update an uncertain rule.
