Apply content policy decisions to DNS filtering

Turn an agreed content policy decision into a focused DNSFilter category block.

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

A policy decision can take too long to reach the DNS filtering controls that enforce it.

  • Apply one specified category to a policy block list.
  • Translate a documented decision into a DNS control.
  • Keep the request tied to a policy and category ID.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Agility CMS and DNSFilter once in Notis.
  • 2Create an automation to add the specified category in a request to the selected DNSFilter policy block list.
  • 3Choose a webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
  • 4Test with one real policy decision and valid category and policy IDs.

Questions about this workflow

Does the workflow decide which category is risky?

No. The request must state the category and policy selected by the team.

Does it replace existing policy settings?

The action adds the category to the existing blacklist categories.
