Create Control D rules from a new Google Doc
Publish a policy once in Google Docs and let Notis turn its approved domains into Control D rules.
Trigger
New Document Created
Triggers when a new Google Doc is created. This trigger monitors Google Docs and fires when new documents are detected. Uses timestamp filtering to efficiently poll for new documents.
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
Policy drafts often sit unused while someone manually recreates every rule in a DNS console.
- Reduce repetitive rule entry
- Keep DNS controls aligned with written policy
- Create a clear run report for review
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Docs and Control D in Notis.
- 2Create an automation named New policy to Control D rules.
- 3Tell Notis to read the new document, identify approved custom rules, and create them in the chosen profile.
- 4Pick New Document Created as the trigger and choose a report channel.
- 5Test with one policy document and review the created rules.
Questions about this workflow
Can Notis decide which profile to use?
Yes, name the Control D profile in your instruction or ask Notis to pause when the profile is unclear.
Does this delete existing rules?
No. This workflow creates rules only unless your instruction explicitly requests another supported action.
