Bring block page context into issue follow-up
When a new issue comment raises an access concern, gather DNSFilter block page information to help a person investigate the report.
Trigger
New GitHub Issue Comment
Triggers when a new comment is added to a specific GitHub issue. Only genuinely new comments are emitted; edits to existing comments do not produce duplicate events. The payload includes the comment ID, text body, author details, timestamps, and direct links to the comment on GitHub.
Action
List Block Pages
Tool to list block pages associated with the current user. use when you need to retrieve all block pages for review or update.
Why this helps
A reported access problem can get buried in a long issue thread while the relevant block page details sit elsewhere.
- Retrieve block page information when a monitored issue gets a new comment.
- Keep access-related follow-up connected to the discussion.
- Avoid assuming every comment describes a DNSFilter block.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and DNSFilter once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it for issue access follow-up.
- 3Tell Notis to retrieve DNSFilter block pages when a new comment is added to the monitored issue, for review alongside the comment.
- 4Pick the new GitHub issue comment trigger and choose a report channel.
- 5Test with one real issue comment.
Questions about this workflow
Will this know whether the comment is about a blocked page?
Not necessarily. The trigger reports a new comment; Notis can use the comment text, but the available action only lists block pages.
Can it edit a block page?
No. The listed action retrieves block pages and does not update them.
