Update Control D rules from Box comments
Keep focused rule revisions alongside the policy document and ask Notis to carry clear, identified changes into Control D.
Trigger
New File Comment Added
Triggers when a new comment is added to a file in Box. This trigger monitors a specific Box file and fires when new comments are detected.
Action
Update Custom Rule by Rule ID
Tool to update an existing custom rule by its ID. Use when modifying details like name, description, severity, or enabled status for a specific rule.
Why this helps
Rule change requests buried in document comments can be missed or require a separate round of copying and follow-up.
- Capture rule revision requests where the policy document is reviewed.
- Avoid retyping explicitly stated rule details.
- Keep automation reports available for follow-up.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Box and Control D once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a clear name.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to update only the Control D rule ID and profile ID explicitly named in a new comment on the monitored Box file, using only the requested details stated there.
- 4Pick the Box New File Comment Added trigger for the policy file and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real comment that names a rule and states a precise change, then review the result.
Questions about this workflow
Does the comment need to identify the rule?
Yes. Include the Control D profile ID, rule ID, and the requested change so the target is unambiguous.
Will it infer a change from general discussion?
The instruction should limit updates to comments that explicitly request a change and identify the rule. General discussion should not be treated as authorization.
What if a comment omits the rule ID?
The automation should report that the request lacks the required identifier and leave the rule unchanged.
