Deploy a custom ruleset

Before you begin:

Obtain the name of the phase where you want to deploy the custom ruleset.
Create a custom ruleset and keep the ID of the new custom ruleset.
Fetch the rules already present in the phase entry point ruleset . You must include in the PUT request all existing rules you want to keep.

To deploy a custom ruleset, add a rule that executes the custom ruleset. Define the rule scope in the rule expression.

Example

The following PUT request adds a rule that executes a custom ruleset when the zone name matches example.com.

---
header: Request
---
curl -X PUT \
"https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/accounts/<ACCOUNT_ID>/rulesets/phases/http_request_firewall_custom/entrypoint" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer <API_TOKEN>" \
-d '{
  "rules": [
    {
      "action":"execute",
      "description":"Execute custom ruleset",
      "expression": "cf.zone.name == \"example.com\"",
      "action_parameters": {
        "id":"<CUSTOM_RULESET_ID>"
      }
    },
    {
      "id": "<EXISTING_PHASE_RULE_ID_1>"
    },
    {
      "id": "<EXISTING_PHASE_RULE_ID_2>"
    }
  ]
}'

The response displays the rules in your phase.
