Permit a required application through DNSFilter
Resolve application access requests by adding the named app to the allow list of the intended 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 work application can remain blocked while a request waits for someone to update filtering controls.
- Apply an application exception to a specified policy.
- Reduce repetitive handling of access requests.
- Keep application and policy identifiers explicit.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect AnyDB and DNSFilter in the Notis portal.
- 2Create a named automation in Automations, New Automation.
- 3Tell Notis to add the requested application to the specified DNSFilter policy allow list, and skip requests missing either identifier.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and a run report destination.
- 5Test with one intended application and a real policy identifier.
