Apply application restrictions with a clear approval trail
Submit an application and policy with the blocking decision. Notis can gather context, apply the DNSFilter block and report the run.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Add Blocked Application
Blocks an application under a policy, regardless of other allow rules.
Why this helps
Application restrictions can remain inconsistent when decisions are made in conversation but never reach the filtering policy.
- Carry an approved restriction into DNSFilter
- Reduce manual policy update handoffs
- Keep the action result visible in a run report
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect AgentQL and DNSFilter once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation and name it Block an Unapproved Application.
- 3Tell Notis to use AgentQL to gather context about the submitted application and add it to the named policy block list only when the request explicitly approves the restriction.
- 4Choose the Notis webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one existing application and policy.
Questions about this workflow
Does this block all applications with similar names?
