Keep policy references current when files move
A moved policy file can trigger a targeted update to the source reference in the DNS rule you specify.
Trigger
Item Moved or Renamed
Triggers when a file or folder is moved to a different path or renamed in OneDrive. Includes both old and new path/name data in the payload.
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
Moved files can leave policy references in DNS rules pointing to the old location.
- Reduce stale document references
- Use the new path included in the move or rename event
- Make the target rule explicit
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect OneDrive and Control D once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation for moved policy references.
- 3In one instruction, name the relevant policy file, Control D profile and rule ID, and the rule detail to update.
- 4Pick the Item Moved or Renamed trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real move or rename and confirm the updated reference.
Questions about this workflow
Does moving a file change the DNS rule itself?
This workflow is for updating a specified rule detail, such as its description or source reference, using the new path. Define the desired change in the instruction.
Can it identify which rule references the file?
The event includes old and new path/name data, but does not guarantee a rule mapping. Provide the profile and rule ID or another reliable identifier.
