Register device MACs with verified site details

When a device is being onboarded, check its site address and register the supplied MAC details in DNSFilter.

Trigger

Webhook received

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

Action

Create MAC Address

Why this helps

Device onboarding requests often arrive without reliable site context, adding extra follow-up before DNS filtering can be applied.

  • Verify the site address included with a device request.
  • Keep device registration requests tied to a confirmed location.
  • Cut follow-up caused by unclear site details.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Addressfinder and DNSFilter once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation and give it a clear name.
  • 3Tell Notis to check the submitted site address with Addressfinder and create the DNSFilter MAC address entry only when the address is confirmed.
  • 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real device onboarding request.

Questions about this workflow

What should the webhook include?

Include the site address and the MAC address details required by DNSFilter.

Does checking the address validate the MAC address?

No. Addressfinder verifies address details. Supply the MAC address from your device inventory or onboarding request.

What happens if the address is uncertain?

Tell Notis to stop and report the unverified site details for review.
