Register Datascope locations from an Ably request
Send Notis a location request and keep the new field site ready in Datascope without retyping its details.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create Location
Tool to create a new location in DataScope with geographic coordinates. Use when you need to register a physical location with name and code identifiers.
Why this helps
New sites can arrive through a live service or chat, then get lost before anyone adds them to field operations.
- Reduce duplicate entry when a new site is reported.
- Keep location names, identifiers, and coordinates together.
- Create a consistent handoff from an Ably-connected service to field operations.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Ably and Datascope once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3Tell Notis to use the location details in the incoming request to create a Datascope location, checking that name, code, and coordinates are present.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real location request sent to the webhook.
Questions about this workflow
What should the webhook request include?
Include the location name, a code identifier, and geographic coordinates. Notis can only create a reliable location when the required details are present.
Does this trigger fire automatically for every Ably message?
No. The trigger is a Notis webhook. An Ably-connected service must send an HTTP request to that webhook when the relevant location request occurs.
