See which staffing data indices are available
Get a scheduled inventory of matching Elasticsearch indices so you know where your indexed 7shifts data may live.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
List Indices
Lists available Elasticsearch indices.
Why this helps
It is easy to lose time searching the wrong index or discovering too late that a data set is unavailable.
- See matching indices in a scheduled report
- Spot when the expected index is not listed
- Avoid guessing where staffing data is stored
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Elasticsearch once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, or tell Notis in plain language from any channel.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to list indices matching the known staffing data pattern and summarize the results.
- 4Choose a recurring schedule and where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real example and confirm the index pattern matches your cluster naming.
Questions about this workflow
Does listing indices confirm that records are current?
No. It reports available indices, not the freshness or completeness of their documents.
Can I use any index pattern?
Use a pattern that matches your cluster's actual index names. The workflow cannot assume a naming convention that you have not supplied.
Does this import 7shifts data?
No. It lists Elasticsearch indices. A separate process must put 7shifts data into the cluster.
