Create a DNS policy from a reviewed document requirement
Turn a complete, reviewed requirement into a ready policy without retyping the setup.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Create Policies
Creates a DNS filtering policy with rules for content, domains, applications and search.
Why this helps
Policy requirements captured during document review can get stranded before anyone creates the policy they describe.
- Starts policy creation from an explicit, reviewed requirement.
- Keeps the policy configuration grounded in available review data.
- Reports missing configuration rather than silently inventing settings.
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 policy only when Affinda provides the required configuration and an explicit request to create it.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real record containing a complete policy requirement.
Questions about this workflow
Will Notis fill in missing policy settings?
No. Required configuration must be present in the Affinda data or supplied in the instruction; missing details should be reported for follow-up.
Does this create a scheduled policy?
No. This workflow uses the Create Policies action. Scheduled policies are a separate DNSFilter action.
