Trigger

Webhook received

Action

Create Data Source

Tool to create a new data source in Databox. Use when you need to create a logical container for datasets within a Databox account. Requires accountId, title, and timezone parameters.

Why this helps

Creating containers manually slows down launches and invites naming mistakes.

  • Standardize source creation
  • Shorten reporting setup
  • Keep launch requests traceable

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Notis and Databox once in the portal.
  • 2Create an automation that creates a data source using the account ID, title, and timezone supplied in the request.
  • 3Choose the Notis webhook trigger.
  • 4Select a report destination for the created source ID.
  • 5Send one approved request to test the automation.

Questions about this workflow

What information must the request include?
