Convert a clearly specified security request into a controlled firewall policy.
Trigger
New Zendesk Ticket
Triggers when a new ticket is created in a specified Zendesk view.
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 are easy to delay when rule details are buried in a support conversation.
- Reduce manual policy transcription
- Require explicit rule details
- Keep security work traceable to the ticket
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Zendesk and DigitalOcean in Notis once.
- 2Create an automation named Ticket to firewall policy.
- 3Tell Notis to create a firewall only when the ticket includes an approved name plus at least one inbound and one outbound rule.
- 4Pick New Zendesk Ticket as the trigger and choose a report channel.
- 5Test it with one real security ticket.
Questions about this workflow
Can it create an empty firewall?
No. Your instruction can require both inbound and outbound rules before acting.
What if rules conflict?
Notis can report the conflict for review instead of applying an unsafe policy.
