Allow Tailor through Cloudflare

When you need this

Your site uses Cloudflare, and Tailor Agent says it couldn't read a page, or shows Cloudflare's "Verify you are human" screen instead of your site.

When Tailor opens one of your pages, it adds _tb to the address, for example example.com/pricing?_tb=1. The rule tells Cloudflare to let any request with _tb through. Your Tailor tag doesn't count these visits in your analytics.

Add the rule

1. 1

   Open custom rules

   In Cloudflare, open your site, then go to:

   Security rules › Create rule › Custom rules

   On older dashboards: Security › WAF › Custom rules

2. 2

   Paste the expression

   Name the rule Allow Tailor. Select Edit expression and paste:

   Rule expressionCopy

   any(http.request.uri.args.names[*] == "_tb") or http.referer contains "_tb="

3. 3

   Set what it skips

   Setting	Choose
   Then take action	Skip
   Components to skip	All remaining custom rules, All Super Bot Fight Mode rules, Browser Integrity Check, Security Level
   Log matching requests	On

   Leave everything else unticked, so the rest of your Cloudflare protection still applies. If your plan doesn't list one of the options, skip it.

4. 4

   Deploy, then move the rule to the top

   Select Deploy, then drag Allow Tailor to the top of your custom rules list.

5. 5

   Free plan only: turn off Bot Fight Mode

   A rule can't get Tailor past Bot Fight Mode. Go to the setting below and switch it off:

   Security › Settings › Bot traffic › Bot Fight Mode

After you add the rule

1. 1

   Tell us which pages were blocked

   Email support [at] tailorhq [dot] ai the pages Tailor couldn't read, so we can have Tailor try them again.

2. 2

   Ask Tailor Agent again

   Once we confirm, ask Tailor Agent to tailor the page.
