Once you know for which services you want to receive email notification, subscribe yourself or others with the New-FirewallRulesSubscription command.

New-FirewallRulesSubscription -ServiceID 3 -Email 'jsmith@example.com, jasmith@example.com'

subscriptionId : 12345
serviceId      : 3
serviceName    : LOG_DELIVERY
createdBy      : jsmith@example.com
description    : Log Delivery
email          : jsmith@example.com, jasmith@example.com
signupDate     : 2025-12-04

Update notifications

If you want to update your subscriptions, save the result of the Get-FirewallRulesSubscription command in a variable and update specific attributes of your subscription. Then pipe the whole object back to the Set-FirewallRulesSubscription command to make your changes effective.

$MySubscriptions = Get-FirewallRulesSubscription

$MySubscriptions[0].email = "josmith@example.com"

$MySubscriptions | Set-FirewallRulesSubscription

subscriptionId : 12345
serviceId      : 3
serviceName    : LOG_DELIVERY
createdBy      : jsmith@example.com
description    : Log Delivery
email          : josmith@example.com
signupDate     : 2025-12-04

Alternatively, you can update your subscription settings in a variable as a hashtable, PSCustomObject, or JSON string, specifying the service ID and the email of a user you want to include in a given subscription. Then pipe the variable to the Set-FirewallRulesSubscription.

With this method, if you don't provide all your subscriptions, they will be removed from your set.

$MySubscriptions = @{
  subscriptions = @(
    {
      serviceId = 3
      email = "josmith@example.com"
    }
  )
}

$MySubscriptions | Set-FirewallRulesSubscription

$MySubscriptions = '{
  "subscriptions": [
    {
      "serviceId": 3,
      "email": "josmith@example.com"
    }
  ]
}'

$MySubscriptions | Set-FirewallRulesSubscription

Unsubscribe from notifications

If you don't know your subscription ID, run the Get-FirewallRulesSubscription to return a list of all subscriptions.

Get-FirewallRulesSubscription

subscriptionId : 12345
serviceId      : 3
serviceName    : LOG_DELIVERY
createdBy      : jsmith@example.com
description    : Log Delivery
email          : jsmith@example.com, jasmith@example.com
signupDate     : 2025-12-04

subscriptionId : 98765

createdBy      : jsmith@example.com
description    : Shield NS53
email          : jsmith@example.com
signupDate     : 2025-12-04

Then remove yourself or others from the notification list with the Remove-FirewallRulesSubscription command specifying the subscription ID.

Remove-FirewallRulesSubscription -SubscriptionId 12345

subscriptionId : 12345
serviceId      : 3
serviceName    : LOG_DELIVERY
createdBy      : jsmith@example.com

View CIDR blocks

To view the CIDR blocks for the services you've subscribed to, run the Get-FirewallRulesCIDR command.

Optionally, you can provide additional parameters, like:

-LastAction to return only CIDR blocks that were added, updated, or removed from service. Possible values are add, update, or delete. The CIDR block with the delete status means it's no longer in service, and you can remove it from your firewall rules.
-EffectiveDateGt to return the CIDR blocks that start serving traffic to your origin from the indicated timestamp.
