Notis

Check a token before requesting DNSFilter data

Add a token validity check to a request flow before it asks DNSFilter for account information.

Trigger

Webhook received

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.

Action

Validate Auth0 JWT

Validates a JWT to confirm that the token is valid.

Why this helps

Invalid tokens can turn a simple account lookup into a confusing failed request and follow-up.

  • Check token validity before downstream lookup work.
  • Make failed requests easier to diagnose.
  • Keep the validation result with the request report.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Abstract and Dnsfilter once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis from any channel.
  • 3Describe: validate the JWT provided with the request using the DNSFilter Auth0 validation action, then report whether the token is valid before any lookup proceeds.
  • 4Choose a webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real token and confirm the result handling.

Questions about this workflow

Does this action retrieve DNSFilter account data?

No. It validates a JWT with Auth0. Use a separate DNSFilter lookup action when account data is needed.

What token should the request provide?

Provide the JWT that needs validation as part of the webhook request.
