Set up recurring DNSFilter security reports

Have Notis create a scheduled DNSFilter report from the organization and cadence details you provide, without rebuilding the setup each time.

Trigger

Recurring schedule

Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.

Action

Create Scheduled Report

Schedules automatic delivery of recurring network activity and security reports.

Why this helps

Recurring security reporting can be forgotten when someone has to create or recreate the schedule manually.

  • Create recurring reports through a prompt-based automation.
  • Keep organization and frequency requirements explicit in the run request or prompt.
  • Reduce manual setup for routine security summaries.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect DNSFilter in the Notis portal and connect AnyDB if it supplies run details.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it for recurring reports.
  • 3Tell Notis to create a DNSFilter scheduled report using the provided organization and frequency, and to stop if either is missing.
  • 4Choose a recurring schedule trigger and where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real organization identifier and supported frequency.
