Roll out approved domains across DNS policies

Apply one verified domain decision consistently across the policies that need it.

Trigger

Webhook received

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

Action

Add Allowlist Domains to Policies

Adds domains to the allow lists of multiple policies, bypassing their filtering rules.

Why this helps

A trusted domain may need access across several policies, turning one approval into repeated edits and missed policies.

  • Applies one approved domain decision across multiple named policies.
  • Cuts repeated updates when a vendor or service is used by several teams.
  • Keeps the change tied to an explicit document review decision.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 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 bulk add a domain to the specified DNSFilter policies only when Affinda explicitly records approval.
  • 4Choose the webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real approval naming the domain and every target policy.

Questions about this workflow

Can this run across all policies by default?

Name the intended policies in the instruction or provide them in the webhook input. The workflow should not assume an unspecified policy scope.

What if the Affinda review does not record approval?

Do not perform the update. The instruction should require an explicit approval in the available review data.
