Create Control D rules from Gmail domain reports
Keep a clear request to block a domain from getting lost in your inbox. Notis can interpret the message and prepare the corresponding Control D rule.
Trigger
New Gmail Message Received Trigger
Triggers when a new message is received in Gmail.
Action
Create Custom Rules for Profile
Tool to create custom rules for a profile. Use after confirming the profile ID and preparing rule definitions. Provide a list of rule objects matching the API schema.
Why this helps
Turning email requests into network policy changes means switching tools, translating the request, and remembering to act.
- Convert a written domain request into a policy change with less context switching.
- Review the requested hostname and profile before creating the rule.
- Keep the request's rationale available for the rule description.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Gmail and Control D once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Tell Notis to identify an explicitly requested domain and its intended profile, verify the profile and hostname, then create a Control D custom rule with the email context in its description.
- 4Pick New Gmail Message Received as the trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real email that names a domain and profile.
Questions about this workflow
Will this automation block every domain mentioned in email?
It should act only on messages that clearly request a rule. Instruct Notis to ask for clarification or report missing profile or hostname details instead of guessing.
Does Gmail provide a Control D profile ID?
No. The message or your instruction must identify the intended profile, or Notis should look it up and ask you to resolve ambiguity before creating a rule.
