Generate DNSFilter report previews on schedule
Prompt Notis to request fresh DNSFilter report previews at a steady cadence, so review starts with current generated data.
Trigger

Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Create Scheduled Report Previews
Starts background generation of a scheduled report preview.
Why this helps
Report review gets delayed when someone must remember to request a preview before looking at security activity.
- Request report preview generation on a recurring schedule.
- Reduce the reminder burden around report review.
- Use the organization identifier supplied for each run.
Setup

- 1Connect DNSFilter in the Notis portal and connect AnyDB if it supplies organization details.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it for report previews.
- 3Tell Notis to request a scheduled report preview for the provided organization and to skip the run if the organization is missing.
- 4Choose a recurring Notis schedule and select a report destination.
- 5Test with one real organization identifier.
