Apply DNSFilter policies on a weekly schedule
Translate a supplied weekly schedule into a DNSFilter scheduled policy so filtering can change at the intended times.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create Scheduled Policy
Creates a weekly scheduled policy that applies filtering rules in 15-minute intervals.
Why this helps
Time-based filtering can be hard to set up accurately when schedules and policy choices must be entered by hand.
- Create time-based policy schedules from explicit input.
- Use weekly scheduling divided into 15-minute intervals.
- Reduce setup effort for planned changes in filtering.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect AnyDB and DNSFilter in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it for scheduled policies.
- 3Tell Notis to create the DNSFilter scheduled policy from the supplied weekly intervals and policy choices, and stop if the schedule is incomplete.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real schedule and its intended policies.
