Apply confirmed category blocks to a policy
Carry a deliberate category decision from parsed records into the DNSFilter policy you specify.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Add Blacklist Category To Policy
Adds a content category to a policy’s block list without changing other settings.
Why this helps
Security policy decisions recorded in a document can be forgotten before anyone updates the category blocklist.
- Turn an explicit category decision into a policy update.
- Keep the target policy clear in the automation instruction.
- Get a run report for each attempted change.
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 category policy updates.
- 3Tell Notis to add a category to the specified policy blocklist only when Airparser data explicitly requests and approves the change.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real approved category request and verify the policy.
Questions about this workflow
Can Notis infer the category from a document?
Use an explicit category in the Airparser data or provide a clear rule in your instruction. Do not rely on unsupported assumptions about category identifiers.
Will this replace existing blocked categories?
The action adds a category to the existing blacklist categories.
What if the category or policy is unclear?
Have Notis report the missing information and skip the policy change.
