Block confirmed suspicious document domains
Route confirmed suspicious domains from document review into a focused DNSFilter blocklist update.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Add Blacklist Domain To Policy
Blocks a domain for users covered by a policy.
Why this helps
Security findings in document workflows can be left in notes while a separate policy update waits for attention.
- Connects confirmed findings to a concrete DNSFilter blocklist action.
- Keeps the policy target explicit in the automation instruction.
- Creates a scheduled review point for document workflow findings.
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 add only explicitly confirmed suspicious domains from Affinda records to the specified DNSFilter policy blocklist.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real record that includes a confirmed suspicious domain and target policy.
Questions about this workflow
Does Affinda itself confirm a domain is malicious?
This workflow depends on the Affinda data exposing an explicit suspicious finding. If it does not, provide a confirmed domain or do not run the blocklist update.
Can the workflow choose which policy to update?
Only when the policy is identified in the available data or instruction. Specify the intended DNSFilter policy before testing.
