Select the right data freshness for a blockchain question
Make the query's time coverage fit the question before asking Bitquery for results.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Database Selection
Tool to select the database (archive, realtime, combined) to query at the top level of a graphql request. use after determining whether you need live, historical, or combined blockchain data.
Why this helps
A query can miss the point if it uses a live view for a history question or historical data for an immediate check.
- Choose archive, realtime, or combined database based on the stated need.
- Make data freshness a deliberate part of the request.
- Explain the selected database in the result summary.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect 2chat and Bitquery once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Notis and give it a clear name.
- 3Tell Notis to select archive for historical questions, realtime for current activity, or combined when both are needed, then run the requested query.
- 4Choose the Notis webhook trigger and configure the request to include the time coverage need.
- 5Choose a report channel, then test with one historical and one live data request.
Questions about this workflow
What is the archive database for?
It provides full historical blockchain data, delayed by tens of minutes to hours.
When should combined data be selected?
Choose combined when the request needs both historical and up-to-the-second blockchain data in one request.
