How it runs

The automated pipeline, trigger to output.

  • TriggerReceive Cloudflare audit event via webhookHTTP webhook
  • LogicKeep only firewall/WAF disable or delete actions
  • ActionPost change to Slack with approve/flag buttonsSlack
  • LogicWait for approval, timeout, or flag
  • ActionOpen Linear ticket on timeout or flagLinearLinear
  • OutputReturn approved-or-escalated outcome

What it does

Catches one of the riskiest Cloudflare actions — disabling or deleting a WAF/firewall rule, which directly weakens your protection. When such a change lands it posts an interactive message to your secops Slack channel asking whether it was intentional. If an engineer approves, the run closes quietly. If nobody responds within the timeout window, it auto-escalates to a Linear ticket for investigation.

When to use it

Use this when firewall and WAF rules should only change with human awareness, and you want a lightweight in-the-loop confirmation rather than a hard alert on every legitimate tuning change.

How it works

  1. 1A webhook trigger receives Cloudflare audit events as they arrive.
  2. 2A filter keeps only firewall/WAF rule disable or delete actions.
  3. 3An action posts the change details to the secops Slack channel with approve/flag buttons.
  4. 4A logic step waits for a response: an approval ends the run, while a timeout or explicit flag advances it.
  5. 5On timeout or flag, the workflow opens a Linear ticket capturing the rule, actor, and the unanswered Slack thread link.
  6. 6The outcome (approved or escalated) is returned as output.
