Overview

This node operation allows you to add a blocked application to a specific policy within the Policies resource. It is useful in scenarios where you want to enforce security or compliance by restricting certain applications from being used under a given policy. For example, an organization might block social media apps or unauthorized software on devices governed by a particular policy.

Properties

Name Meaning
Id The unique identifier of the policy to which the blocked application will be added.
Name The name of the application to block.
Additional Body Fields Optional additional fields to include in the request body. Currently supports:
- Include Relationships: Boolean flag to specify whether to include relationships in response (true/false, defaults to true).

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the updated policy with the newly added blocked application. If the "Include Relationships" option is enabled, related entities and their connections may also be included in the response. There is no indication that binary data is output by this node.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authentication with the external service.
  • The base URL for API requests is https://api.dnsfilter.com.
  • The node uses standard HTTP headers for JSON content (Accept: application/json, Content-Type: application/json).

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:

    • Providing an invalid or non-existent Policy ID will likely result in an error from the API.
    • Omitting the required application name or providing it as an empty string may cause the request to fail.
    • Network connectivity issues or incorrect API credentials can prevent successful execution.
  • Error messages:

    • Errors related to authorization typically indicate missing or invalid API credentials; ensure the API key is correctly configured.
    • Validation errors from the API may indicate missing required fields or invalid values; verify the input properties.
    • Unexpected server errors may require retrying later or contacting support for the external service.
