Apply a reviewed category block to the right policy
Turn a clear category decision into a DNSFilter policy update, with a run report that records what was requested.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Add Blacklist Category To Policy
Adds a content category to a policy’s block list without changing other settings.
Why this helps
Policy changes can get delayed when category decisions live in messages and someone has to find the right policy later.
- Carry an approved category decision into a policy
- Keep the intended policy in the request
- Make completed changes easier to track
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect AgentQL and DNSFilter once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation and name it Block a Risky Content Category.
- 3Tell Notis to use AgentQL to gather context about the submitted category and add it to the specified DNSFilter policy blocklist only when the request explicitly approves the change.
- 4Choose the Notis webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one existing category and policy.
Questions about this workflow
Does AgentQL define DNSFilter categories?
No. Use a category identifier that exists in DNSFilter. AgentQL can gather supporting public context for the request.
Will other policy settings change?
The action adds the category to the policy's existing blacklist categories.
