Build a sequence rule within custom rules

In the Cloudflare dashboard, go to the Security rules page.

To create a new empty rule, select Create rule > Custom rules.

Enter a descriptive name for the rule in Rule name.

Under When incoming requests match, use the Field drop-down list to filter by Sequences and select from:

• Current Operation
• Previous Operations
• Elapsed time

Under Value, select the edit icon to use Builder and build a sequence on the side panel.

Under Select a hostname for this sequence, choose all or a specific hostname from the dropdown list. Optionally, you can use the search bar to search for a specific hostname.

From the Methods dropdown list, choose all methods or a specific request method.

Select the checkbox for each endpoint in the order that you want them to appear in the sequence.

Set the time to complete.

Select Save.

Under Then take action, select the rule action in the Choose action dropdown. For example, selecting Block tells Cloudflare to refuse requests that match the conditions you specified.

(Optional) If you selected the Block action, you can configure a custom response.

Under Place at, select the order of when the rule will fire.

To save and deploy your rule, select Deploy. If you are not ready to deploy your rule, select Save as Draft.
