Overview

This node operation allows users to bulk add domains to an allowlist within specified policies. It is useful in scenarios where multiple domains need to be exempted from filtering or blocking rules managed by a DNS filtering service. For example, an administrator can quickly whitelist several trusted domains across multiple security policies to ensure uninterrupted access.

Properties

Name Meaning
Additional Body Fields Optional fields to include in the request body:
- Domains JSON array of domain names to add to the allowlist.
- Notes JSON object containing key/value pairs for notes associated with each domain.
- Policy Ids JSON array of policy IDs on which the allowlist domains will be added.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the response from the API after performing the bulk add operation. This typically includes confirmation of the domains added to the allowlist and any related metadata returned by the service. The output does not include binary data.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating requests to the DNS filtering service.
  • The node uses the base URL https://api.dnsfilter.com for API calls.
  • The user must configure the appropriate API authentication credentials in n8n.

Troubleshooting

  • Invalid JSON in Domains or Notes: Since these properties expect JSON input, malformed JSON will cause errors. Ensure valid JSON formatting.
  • Missing or Incorrect Policy IDs: If policy IDs are missing or invalid, the API may reject the request. Verify that the policy IDs exist and are correct.
  • Authentication Errors: Failure to provide a valid API key or token will result in authorization errors. Confirm that credentials are correctly set up.
  • API Rate Limits or Service Downtime: Bulk operations might hit rate limits or fail if the service is unavailable. Check service status and retry later if needed.
