Remove obsolete Control D rules from Zendesk
Keep custom DNS policies clean when support confirms a hostname exception has ended.
Trigger
New Zendesk Ticket
Triggers when a new ticket is created in a specified Zendesk view.
Action
Delete Profile Rule by Hostname
Tool to delete a specific custom rule by hostname from a profile. Use after confirming profile_id and hostname.
Why this helps
Old hostname rules accumulate because cleanup is disconnected from ticket resolution.
- Reduce stale custom rules
- Keep profiles easier to audit
- Tie deletion to explicit resolution evidence
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Zendesk and Control D in Notis once.
- 2Create an automation and define the resolution language required for deletion.
- 3Tell Notis to delete the confirmed hostname rule only when the ticket includes explicit approval and profile context.
- 4Choose New Zendesk Ticket and select a report channel.
- 5Test with one resolved cleanup ticket.
Questions about this workflow
Is deletion reversible?
Ask Notis to report the planned deletion for review if your process requires a checkpoint.
What if the hostname appears in several profiles?
Require a specific profile in the ticket and skip ambiguous matches.
