Help the team get back to work by applying a reviewed application exception to its DNSFilter policy.
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 legitimate work application can stay blocked while a request waits for someone to update a policy.
- Add one approved application to a policy allow list.
- Move application exceptions from request to action quickly.
- Keep the policy and application details visible in the report.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Agility CMS and DNSFilter once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation that adds the approved application in the request to the specified DNSFilter policy allow list.
- 3Choose a webhook trigger and select a run report destination.
- 4Test with one real approved application request and policy ID.
Questions about this workflow
Does this make the application allowed regardless of other blocking rules?
