Bring DNSFilter application context to PR review

A new commit can be a useful moment to gather DNSFilter application information alongside a security review of the pull request.

Trigger

New Commit Added to Pull Request

Triggers when a new commit is pushed to a specific pull request. Monitors all commits on the specified pull request and emits an event for each newly added commit. This covers force-pushes and additional commits pushed to the PR's head branch.

Action

List Applications

Tool to list applications with basic information. use when you need to retrieve all applications for your dnsfilter organization.

Why this helps

Pull request reviews often span code and security tooling, making it easy to lose time switching contexts to gather reference information.

  • Retrieve DNSFilter application details when a monitored PR gains a commit.
  • Keep reference gathering close to ongoing code review.
  • Avoid implying that the workflow changes application settings.

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 PR security context.
  • 3Tell Notis to retrieve the DNSFilter application list when a new commit is added to a monitored pull request.
  • 4Pick the new commit added to pull request trigger, then choose a report channel.
  • 5Test with one real PR commit event.

Questions about this workflow

Does this approve or block an application?

No. It retrieves application information for reference and does not change DNSFilter settings.

Can it determine which applications the code uses?

The listed action returns DNSFilter applications. It does not establish which applications are used by a particular commit.
