Update Control D rules from Outlook approvals
Approved rule edits should not wait in a queue. Let Notis apply the requested Control D update when the email includes the rule ID.
Trigger
New Outlook Message
Triggered when a new message is received in the Outlook mailbox.
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
Manual follow-up between approval emails and DNS consoles creates delays and mistakes.
- Apply approved edits quickly
- Require a known rule ID
- Keep change reporting centralized
