Update Cloudflare ruleset rules from Zendesk tickets

Move reviewed ruleset changes forward without losing the reasoning in the ticket.

Trigger

New Zendesk Ticket

Triggers when a new ticket is created in a specified Zendesk view.

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

Rule edits are error prone when the intended change is separated from the current ruleset context.

  • Make rule changes traceable
  • Reduce manual console steps
  • Speed up approved fixes

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Zendesk and Cloudflare in Notis once.
  • 2Create an automation named Ruleset rule update.
  • 3Tell Notis to update one confirmed ruleset rule only when the ticket provides the ruleset ID, rule ID, and approved configuration.
  • 4Pick New Zendesk Ticket as the trigger and choose a report channel.
  • 5Test with one reviewed rule change.

Questions about this workflow

What if the ticket asks to reorder rules?

Include the desired order explicitly and have Notis report the resulting rule position.

Can it update multiple rules?

Keep the instruction scoped to one rule per run for a reviewable change.
