Compare labor trends with service metrics
See whether changes in staffing and system performance move together.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Query metrics
Queries datadog metrics and returns time series data. useful for retrieving historical metric data, creating custom dashboards, or building reports.
Why this helps
Business and technical metrics are reviewed separately, so useful relationships stay hidden.
- Connect labor changes to system behavior
- Focus reviews on meaningful movement
- Reduce spreadsheet based comparisons
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect 7shifts and Datadog in the Notis portal once.
- 2Create an automation for a scheduled labor and metrics comparison.
- 3Tell Notis which 7shifts labor context to summarize and which Datadog metric queries to run, then ask for notable changes and caveats.
- 4Choose a recurring Notis cron trigger and a report channel.
- 5Test with one real period and confirm the report includes only available data.
Questions about this workflow
Will this prove that staffing caused a metric change?
No. It reports timing and correlation based on available data and should not claim causation without evidence.
Can it query multiple metrics?
Yes, specify the metric queries in the instruction.
What if 7shifts has no data for a period?
The report should identify the gap instead of filling it with assumptions.
