Apply a category decision to a DNS policy
Send a reviewed category finding from Agenty into the DNSFilter policy you name.
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
Category findings can be documented but never make it into the filtering policy that needs them.
- Convert a reviewed category decision into a policy change.
- Use the category identified in Agenty research.
- Keep the policy update tied to a reportable run.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Agenty and DNSFilter once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3Tell Notis to add the identified category to the specified DNSFilter policy blocklist after your review criteria are met.
- 4Pick the Notis webhook trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real category finding and verify the policy.
Questions about this workflow
Does Agenty classify every site into a DNSFilter category?
Not necessarily. The instruction should use a category Agenty actually returns or one you provide in the request.
Can this change the policy without a review condition?
Describe the decision criteria in your instruction, such as requiring a confirmed finding or human review.
