Know which CommCare reports are available
Set a recurring check for the reports configured in CommCare, then have Notis send the result where your team will see it.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
List Reports
Tool to retrieve available reports configured in a CommCare project. Use when you need to discover what reports exist before downloading report data via the Download Report Data API.
Why this helps
Finding out what reports exist can become another small task that gets delayed until someone needs the data.
- Retrieve the reports configured in a CommCare project on a schedule.
- Keep report discovery from depending on someone's memory.
- Send run reports to a channel you already check.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect CommCare once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis from any channel to create one.
- 3Describe in one instruction that Notis should retrieve and summarize the available CommCare reports.
- 4Choose the notis_cron trigger and set the recurring schedule.
- 5Choose where run reports should go, then test with one real example.
Questions about this workflow
Does this download report data?

Can I use this to check reports every week?
Yes. Select a recurring notis_cron schedule when creating the automation.
Does the workflow know when a report is missing?
It can summarize the reports CommCare returns. To identify a missing report, provide the expected report name or other comparison context in your instruction.
