Move rule requests from comments into Control D
A domain allow or block request can live in the task conversation and still reach the right Control D profile.
Trigger
New Comment on Task
Triggers when a comment is added to a task in a project.
Action
Create Custom Rules for Profile
Tool to create custom rules for a profile. Use after confirming the profile ID and preparing rule definitions. Provide a list of rule objects matching the API schema.
Why this helps
Important policy changes often sit in comment threads until someone remembers to re-enter them.
- Turns a clearly stated comment request into a policy change.
- Keeps rule requests attached to their task context.
- Reports ambiguous domains or profile details for follow-up.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Asana and Control D once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, then New Automation.
- 3Tell Notis to create only the custom rules explicitly requested in a task comment and report missing profile, hostname, or rule details.
- 4Pick Asana New Comment on Task as the trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real comment that specifies a profile and rule.
Questions about this workflow
Does it infer a rule from any comment?
Describe the specific language that counts as a request. Notis can report comments that do not clearly state the intended rule.
Can it add rules to a folder?
This workflow uses the root profile custom rules action. Folder-specific creation is a separate Control D action.
