Overview

This node operation allows you to remove a blocked application from a specific policy in the AvantGuard DNSFilter system. It is useful for managing security policies by dynamically updating which applications are blocked under a given policy. For example, if an application was mistakenly blocked or is no longer considered a threat, this operation can be used to unblock it without manually editing the policy outside of n8n.

Properties

Name Meaning
Id The unique identifier (ID) of the policy from which the blocked application will be removed.
Name The name of the application to be removed from the blocked list within the specified policy.
Additional Body Fields Optional additional fields to include in the request body. Currently supports:
- Include Relationships: Boolean flag to include related entities in the response (default true).

Output

The output JSON contains the response from the API after attempting to remove the blocked application from the policy. This typically includes confirmation of the removal and may include updated policy details depending on the include_relationships flag. The node does not output binary data.
