Turn a chat-based security request into a documented firewall configuration.

Trigger

New WhatsApp Message Received

Action

Create New Firewall

Tool to create a new firewall. use when you need to define a firewall name and custom rules (requires at least one inbound and one outbound rule).

Why this helps

Firewall changes requested in chat can lack rules or get delayed during handoffs.

  • Capture security changes with context
  • Require both inbound and outbound rules
  • Create repeatable firewall requests

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect TimelinesAI and Digital ocean in Notis once.
  • 2Create an automation named WhatsApp firewall requests.
  • 3Tell Notis to extract the firewall name and complete inbound and outbound rules, then create it when valid.
  • 4Pick New WhatsApp Message Received as the trigger and choose a report channel.
  • 5Test with one real rules request.

Questions about this workflow

What happens if only inbound rules are provided?

Notis asks for the missing outbound rule details before creating the firewall.

Can Notis explain the resulting rules?

Yes. Ask it to summarize the created firewall in the run report.
