FlowConsent Free uses your own Cloudflare account to deploy the required Worker and KV storage. This guide walks you through creating a restricted API token with the exact permissions needed.

FlowConsent Free uses your own Cloudflare account to deploy the required Worker and KV storage. This article explains how to create a restricted API token with the exact permissions needed, then connect it to your FlowConsent banner.

What you'll need

  • A Cloudflare account (free plan is sufficient)
  • Permission to manage Workers and KV on that account
  • About 2 minutes

Step 1 — Create a Cloudflare API token

  1. Log in to your Cloudflare account.
  2. Open My Profile → API Tokens, or go directly to dash.cloudflare.com/profile/api-tokens.
  3. Click Create Token.
  4. Select Custom token (or Create Custom Token).
  5. Give it a clear name, for example: FlowConsent banner.

Step 2 — Set token permissions

In the token builder, locate the Permissions section and add the following two rows exactly:

PermissionResourceAccess
Workers ScriptsAccount — your accountEdit
Workers KV StorageAccount — your accountEdit

For Account, select the Cloudflare account where you'll deploy your FlowConsent banner.

Step 3 — Create and copy the token

  1. Click Continue to summary.
  2. Click Create Token.
  3. Copy the token immediately — Cloudflare only shows it once.

Cloudflare token created — copy and store the value before leaving the page

  1. In FlowConsent, go to Deployment → Cloudflare Configuration and paste the token into the Cloudflare API Key field.

Step 4 — Get your Cloudflare Account ID

  1. Open your Cloudflare dashboard.
  2. Click the three dots next to your workspace name to reveal the Account ID.
  3. Copy your Account ID.
  4. In FlowConsent, paste it into the Cloudflare Account ID field of the Cloudflare configuration.

Step 5 — Give your Cloudflare Worker a name

Choose your Worker name carefully — you won't be able to change it after deployment.

Example: my-website-banner.

Naming rules:

  • Only lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens (a-z, 0-9, -)
  • Must start with an alphanumeric character
  • Must end with an alphanumeric character

Step 6 — Test your access and deploy

Once your Cloudflare credentials are filled in and your Worker has a name, verify that FlowConsent can access your Cloudflare account by clicking the Test connection button.

If the test succeeds, you're ready to deploy your banner.
