Keep an Ably event dataset up to date

Send the event records available to your workflow on a schedule and keep your reporting dataset current.

Trigger

Recurring schedule

Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.

Action

Push Data to Dataset (V1)

Tool to push data points to a Databox dataset using the v1 API. Use when you need to ingest data records into a specific dataset by providing the dataset ID and an array of records matching the dataset schema.

Why this helps

Event records can pile up between reporting sessions and require manual copying into Databox.

  • Push a supplied batch of records into Databox.
  • Reduce manual data entry between reporting sessions.
  • Keep recurring ingestion work on a predictable schedule.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Ably and Databox once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation that pushes the available Ably event records into a specified Databox dataset.
  • 3Pick a recurring schedule and choose where run reports should go.
  • 4Test with one real batch and confirm Databox accepts the records.
