Create a Control D custom rule from an Ably-originated request
Give Notis the rule intent and target profile in the incoming request, then let it create the rule for you.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create Custom Rules for Profile
Tool to create custom rules for a profile. Use after confirming the profile ID and preparing rule definitions. Provide a list of rule objects matching the API schema.
Why this helps
A rule request can sit in an event stream while someone still has to translate it into a DNS policy change.
- Convert a webhook request into a new profile rule.
- Keep rule intent close to the event that requested it.
- Use a run report to review the automation's result.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Ably and Control D once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis from any channel to create one.
- 3Describe how to interpret the request and create a rule on the named profile.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real example and review the created rule.
Questions about this workflow
What must the request provide?
It should include a clear rule definition and enough context to identify the target profile. The automation instruction should explain how to handle the request.
Can this create a rule in a profile folder?
This action creates custom rules for a profile. If folder placement is required, use the folder-specific action only when the profile and folder are identified.
