Keep a verified work application available
When a trusted application is disrupted by filtering, send a verified request to the policy allow list and record the result.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Add Allowed Application
Allows an application through a policy, regardless of other blocking rules.
Why this helps
A blocked work application can interrupt important tasks while the exception request waits for someone to find and update the policy.
- Reduce delay for verified work application exceptions
- Keep the relevant policy with the request
- Capture the action outcome in a report
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect AgentQL and DNSFilter once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation and name it Allow an Essential Business Application.
- 3Tell Notis to use AgentQL to gather context about the submitted application and add the specified application to the named policy allow list only when the request confirms the exception is approved.
- 4Choose the Notis webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one existing application and policy.

Will an allowlisted application bypass other blocking rules?
