Summarize a Contentful inventory on a schedule
Keep a lightweight view of selected Contentful content by running a saved query and summarizing its results on a recurring schedule.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
GraphQL Content API Persisted Query
Tool to execute a persisted GraphQL query via its SHA256 hash. Use after registering a query hash to run cached queries by hash. On first call include full query text; thereafter invoke with only hash and variables.
Why this helps
Maintaining a useful content inventory can mean repeatedly running the same query and interpreting a long list of results.
- Reuse a registered query for recurring inventory checks.
- Turn query results into a short summary that is easier to scan.
- Keep the report focused on the content and fields your team cares about.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Ably and Contentful graphql once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it for the inventory summary.
- 3Tell Notis to run the registered persisted query and summarize the returned entries using the available fields.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real run and confirm the registered query returns the intended inventory.
Questions about this workflow
What does the query need before this can run?
The persisted query must already be registered and have a hash. On its first call, include the full query text; later calls can use the hash and variables.
Can the summary compare with an earlier inventory?
Only if the earlier inventory is supplied or otherwise available to the workflow. The query action itself returns the current query results.
