Why this helps
A newly agreed reporting setup can be hard to validate until someone asks for a first preview.
- Creates a preview to validate a scheduled reporting setup.
- Starts the preview from a documented readiness signal.
- Provides a concrete report-generation checkpoint for follow-up.
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 create a DNSFilter scheduled report preview for the specified organization after Affinda records that the reporting setup is ready to validate.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real readiness record that identifies the organization.
Questions about this workflow
Does the preview action create a permanent recurring schedule?
No. It triggers background generation of a preview. Creating a scheduled report is a separate action.
What organization should the preview use?
The organization must be identified in the available Affinda data or provided in the webhook request.
