Keep inactive DNSFilter agents under control
Set a recurring check that starts DNSFilter cleanup for agents beyond the inactivity period you specify.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Create User Agent Cleanup
Starts cleanup that identifies and deletes user agents inactive for the specified period.
Why this helps
Inactive user agents accumulate when cleanup depends on someone remembering to review and start the process.
- Initiate cleanup on a predictable schedule.
- Make the inactivity threshold explicit before a cleanup run.
- Reduce manual follow-up for stale agent records.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect DNSFilter in the Notis portal and AnyDB if it provides cleanup criteria.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, with a clear cleanup name.
- 3Tell Notis to initiate cleanup only for the specified organization scope and inactivity period, stopping when either is missing.
- 4Choose the recurring cron schedule and a destination for run reports.
- 5Test with a conservative real threshold and intended organization scope.
