Turn rule change requests into precise updates
Send a change request with its profile and rule IDs. Abstract processes the requested change, and Notis updates the existing rule.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Update Custom Rule by Rule ID
Updates a custom rule by its ID.
Why this helps
A small rule change can stall while someone searches for the right profile and re-enters the requested details.
- Apply a request to a specific existing rule.
- Reduce errors from searching for and retyping rule details.
- Keep the requested change and resulting update in one run.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Abstract and Control D once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and enter a name and prompt.
- 3Describe how Abstract should process the request and update the identified rule only with the requested changes.
- 4Choose a webhook trigger and a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one real request containing a profile ID, rule ID, and clear change.
Questions about this workflow
What information does the request need?
Provide the Control D profile ID, rule ID, and the requested change. Abstract can process the request text, but the correct target identifiers must be supplied.
Does this create a rule if the ID is missing?
No. This action updates an existing custom rule by its ID.
