Notis

Permit applications from approved requests

Turn a parsed, approved application request into a targeted DNSFilter policy exception.

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

Application access requests can be approved in an email but never make it into the filtering policy.

  • Reduce missed follow-through on application approvals.
  • Use an explicit approval condition before updating the policy.
  • Keep the application and policy named in the run report.

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 approvals.
  • 3Tell Notis to add the requested application to the specified policy allow list only when Airparser data marks it approved.
  • 4Choose the webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one approved application request and verify the policy.

Questions about this workflow

Can this allow any application mentioned in a request?

No. Require an explicit approval signal and a clearly identified application before changing the policy.

What does the action change?

It adds a single application to the allow list of a DNSFilter policy.

What if the request does not identify a policy?

Have Notis report the missing policy and skip the update until the destination is clear.
