Turn a confirmed category risk into a policy rule
When an affiliate security review identifies a risky DNSFilter category, add that category to the selected policy blocklist.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Add Blacklist Category To Policy
Adds a content category to a policy’s block list without changing other settings.
Why this helps
Category level risks can require a policy change, but translating a review into the right rule is easy to defer.
- Translate a confirmed category risk into a DNSFilter policy update.
- Keep category changes tied to a named policy and review context.
- Receive a record of the category added.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Adtraction and DNSFilter once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to review Adtraction-related security context and add a category to the named DNSFilter policy blocklist only when the risk and category are explicitly established.
- 4Choose a recurring schedule and a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one real example and verify the category and policy before routine runs.
Questions about this workflow
Can Notis infer a DNSFilter category from any domain?
The workflow should act only when the category is established in available context. If that information is missing, provide it or have the automation report the gap.
Will adding a category overwrite existing policy rules?
The listed action adds a category to the existing blacklist categories.
