Create a DNSFilter policy from reviewed rules
Turn a ready policy specification into a DNSFilter policy through a scheduled Notis run.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Create Policies
Creates a DNS filtering policy with rules for content, domains, applications and search.
Why this helps
Policy setup can stall when reviewed rules still need to be recreated manually in the filtering platform.
- Create a policy from supplied configuration.
- Reduce manual entry after rule decisions are ready.
- Keep unspecified configuration from being guessed.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect DNSFilter in Notis and AnyDB if it provides the reviewed policy specification.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, with a clear policy setup name.
- 3Tell Notis to create the DNSFilter policy from supplied settings and stop if required configuration is incomplete.
- 4Choose a recurring schedule trigger and a run report destination.
- 5Test with one reviewed policy specification.
Questions about this workflow
What can a policy include?
The action supports filtering configuration such as blocked and allowed categories, domain lists, safe search enforcement, and application controls.
Will Notis fill in missing policy decisions?
The policy settings must be supplied. The action description does not define a default policy or decision rules.
Why use a schedule for this?
AnyDB has no native triggers listed, so this workflow runs on a Notis schedule against the supplied configuration.
