Block specifically flagged applications
Turn a clear application block decision in parsed records into a DNSFilter policy update.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Add Blocked Application
Blocks an application under a policy, regardless of other allow rules.
Why this helps
A decision to block an application can be buried in a document and never reach the policy settings.
- Carry explicit block decisions into DNSFilter policies.
- Reduce manual review and copy-paste work.
- Keep the targeted application and policy visible in reports.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Airparser and DNSFilter once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it for application blocking.
- 3Tell Notis to add an application to the specified policy block list only when the Airparser record explicitly flags it for blocking.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one flagged application record and verify the policy update.
Questions about this workflow
Will every application mentioned in Airparser be blocked?
No. Use an explicit block decision in the record and identify the intended policy.
What does the action do?
It adds a single application to the DNSFilter policy block list.
What if the application is not clearly identified?
Have Notis report the ambiguity and skip the change until the intended application is clear.
