Update Control D rules when documentation changes
A policy edit can trigger a focused review of the rules it governs.
Trigger
Page Updated
Triggers when a Confluence page is updated (any edit that creates a new version).
Action
Modify Custom Rules for Profile
Tool to modify existing custom rule(s) for a profile. Use when you need to update rule details such as name, description, severity, or enabled status. Ensure to include the rule IDs to modify.
Why this helps
DNS rules drift when documentation changes are easy to miss.
- Catches policy drift
- Limits reviews to changed pages
- Preserves a clear reason for each rule update
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Confluence and Control D in Notis once.
- 2Create an automation that compares updated policy guidance with matching Control D rules and applies only approved changes.
- 3Pick the Page Updated trigger.
- 4Choose a report channel and test with one edited policy page.
Questions about this workflow
Does it rewrite every rule?
No. Tell Notis to update only rules supported by the changed page and leave unrelated rules untouched.
Can it flag missing rules?
Yes. Ask it to report documented rules that are missing from the profile.
