Why this helps
Device identifiers captured during onboarding can be left in documents instead of registered for filtering management.
- Carries verified device identifiers into DNSFilter.
- Keeps registration tied to an approved onboarding record.
- Avoids manually copying device details from documents.

- 1Connect Affinda and DNSFilter once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name and prompt.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to create a DNSFilter MAC address entry only for approved Affinda device records with complete required details.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real approved device record.
