Carry an approved rule review into Control D
Keep rule review notes in Sheets and apply an approved update to the matching Control D rule.
Trigger
Spreadsheet Row Changed
Triggers when a looked-up spreadsheet row changes. This trigger monitors a specific row (located by searching for a query value within a user-specified range) and fires when the row's values change, when the row appears, or when the row disappears.
Action
Update Custom Rule by Rule ID
Tool to update an existing custom rule by its ID. Use when modifying details like name, description, severity, or enabled status for a specific rule.
Why this helps
Rule changes can be approved in a review sheet but never make it into the live profile.
- Connect review decisions to the policy update
- Keep the requested change and its approval together
- Reduce missed rule edits
