Find recurring shift patterns with a persisted query
See recurring schedule patterns alongside the content that helps managers respond to them.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
GraphQL Content API Persisted Query
Tool to execute a persisted GraphQL query via its SHA256 hash. Use after registering a query hash to run cached queries by hash. On first call include full query text; thereafter invoke with only hash and variables.
Why this helps
Recurring staffing patterns are hard to act on when schedule history and procedures remain disconnected.
- Reveal recurring patterns
- Reuse fast cached queries
- Support consistent responses
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect 7shifts and Contentful graphql in Notis once.
- 2Create an automation named Weekly shift pattern query.
- 3Describe that Notis should pass the supplied 7shifts patterns to the registered persisted query and summarize matching content.
- 4Choose the notis_cron trigger and set the weekly cadence.
- 5Choose a report channel and test with one recent pattern set.
Questions about this workflow
What pattern data should be supplied?
