Create a DNSFilter API key with a controlled run
Make API key creation a deliberate, trackable operation with any expiration details supplied up front.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Create API Keys
Creates an API key; its value is shown only once and cannot be retrieved later.
Why this helps
Key setup can be forgotten or recreated without a clear record of why it was needed or when it should expire.
- Create a key from an explicit request.
- Include an expiration date when required.
- Keep a run report that reminds the operator the key is returned only once.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect DNSFilter in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it for API key creation.
- 3Tell Notis to create a key only when the request includes the intended purpose and expiration requirements, and direct the one-time returned secret to an approved secure handling process.
- 4Choose a Notis schedule trigger and a suitable run report destination that does not expose secrets.
- 5Test the workflow while ensuring the returned secret is handled securely.
