Update Control D external filters from Box policy versions
When your approved filtering policy changes in Box, have Notis apply the external filter states it clearly specifies.
Trigger
New File Version Uploaded
Triggers when a new file version is uploaded to a file in Box. This trigger monitors a specific Box file and fires when new versions are detected.
Action
Update External Filters for Profile
Tool to update external filters for a specific profile. Use when toggling third-party filters after listing them.
Why this helps
Policy revisions can leave third-party DNS filters out of sync when teams rely on manual reminders.
- Respond to a new policy version without a separate reminder.
- Apply only filter states explicitly stated in the document.
- Keep the policy source and run report close at hand.
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 name it.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to update external filters in the chosen Control D profile only when a new Box version explicitly names the filters and states to enable or disable.
- 4Pick the Box New File Version Uploaded trigger for the policy file and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real version that names the profile's external filters and requested states.
Questions about this workflow
Does this workflow decide which filters belong in the policy?
No. The Box version needs to explicitly name each filter and its desired state.
What if a listed filter is unavailable in the profile?
Have Notis report the missing or unmatched filter so you can resolve it, rather than guessing.
Can this work with any file version?
Use a monitored policy file whose new versions clearly specify the requested filter changes.
