Carry approved device changes into Control D

Trigger

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Modify Device
Updates the settings of an existing device.
Why this helps
Approved device changes are easy to overlook when the person approving a document is not the person updating Control D.
- Reduce handoffs between document approval and device updates.
- Keep the device identifier explicit in the change request.
- Make the run outcome available in a report channel.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect ActiveMerge and Control D once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis in plain language.
- 3Describe how to apply the approved settings change to the specified Control D device.
- 4Pick the Notis webhook trigger and have the upstream process send a request after approval.
- 5Choose where run reports go, then test with one real change and a confirmed device ID.
Questions about this workflow
Can it update a device without a confirmed ID?
No. The Control D action modifies an existing device, so the device ID must be confirmed and supplied.
Does the webhook come directly from ActiveMerge?
Not through a listed trigger event. Arrange for an upstream process to send an HTTP request to the Notis webhook.
