Inspect the mapping for a staffing data index
Check the actual index mapping before relying on field names or types in a staffing-data search.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Get Index Schema
View the structure and field mappings of an index.
Why this helps
Searches can miss useful records when assumptions about index fields or types are wrong.
- Review the actual mapping for a specified index
- Base later searches on observed field names and types
- Reduce guesswork when an index changes
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Elasticsearch once and identify the staffing index name you want to inspect.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, or tell Notis in plain language from any channel.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to retrieve the mapping for the specified index and summarize its fields and types.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real index name and confirm it exists in your cluster.
Questions about this workflow
Does this discover the index automatically?
No. The action retrieves the schema of a specific index, so provide the index name in the webhook details or instruction.
Does the schema include actual staffing records?
No. It describes mappings and field types, not the documents stored in the index.
Can it make searches based on fields it finds?
This workflow reports the mapping. You can use the returned information to inform a separate search workflow.
