Patricia works your Cloudflare.
Ask her in Slack. She reads the DNS, the firewall, and the traffic across your client zones, and touches nothing live until you approve it.
@Pati Fernbrook says their new landing page shows the old version for half their visitors. What's going on?
I read the zone. It is a cache issue, not a deploy issue. Here is the picture:
- The DNS record points to the right origin, so nothing is misrouted
- The stale page is being served from the edge cache, TTL is set to 4 hours
- Bot Fight Mode and the firewall rules look untouched, so security is not blocking anyone
- A cache purge on that path fixes it in seconds. It waits for your yes before I run it.
Purge it, and reply to Fernbrook once it's clear.
Cache purged on the landing path, and the edge is now serving the new version everywhere I can check. I have drafted the all-clear reply to Fernbrook in #fernbrook-internal for you to send.
Patricia + Cloudflare
What she does in Cloudflare.
Real actions she takes on your say-so, not a list of API endpoints.
Read the zone and its DNS
She lists the zones you connect and reads every DNS record, so a question about where a client domain points gets an answer in the channel instead of a login.
Check security at a glance
Firewall rules, WAF lists, and bot management settings, read on demand, so you know what is blocking traffic and what is letting it through before a client asks why.
Purge cache after your yes
When the edge is serving a stale page she can purge it in seconds, but the purge waits for your explicit approval so a live client site is never touched by surprise.
Change DNS only on approval
She can create, update, or remove a DNS record and add or delete a zone, and every one of those changes holds for your yes in Slack before it hits the live zone.
Watch tunnels and load balancing
She reads Cloudflare Tunnel status and load-balancer pools, so a routing question comes back with the actual state, not a guess about what is up.
Work across every client zone
One connection reaches the zones you manage. Every client's DNS and security config stays walled off from the rest.
Say it like you'd say it

Mention @Pati with the question. Reads run on their own; purging cache or changing DNS waits for your yes.

On it.
FAQ
Cloudflare questions, answered.
What can Patricia actually do in Cloudflare?
She reads zones, DNS records, firewall and WAF lists, bot management settings, tunnels, and load-balancer pools across everything you connect, and she can purge cache, edit DNS, and manage zones and lists. Reads are instant; changes to the live zone wait for approval.
Will she change DNS or purge cache on her own?
No. Reading settings, records, and traffic runs on its own, that is the point. Purging cache, creating or deleting a DNS record, or changing a security rule waits for an explicit yes in Slack.
Which Cloudflare plan do we need?
Any plan works. She connects through Cloudflare's official flow with the access you approve, the same way other approved tools do, and only sees the zones you connect.
We manage a separate zone per client. Does that stay separate?
Yes, that is the setup she expects at an agency. Connect the zones you want her in and every client's DNS and security config stays walled off from the rest.
What does the Cloudflare integration cost?
Nothing extra. Every integration is included, on every plan.
