Run a focused Elasticsearch search from an Ably signal
Send the question and search context through a webhook, then let Notis query the right index and explain the matches.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Query Index
Searches an Elasticsearch index for documents.
Why this helps
Relevant records can be hard to find when search context is scattered across messages, dashboards, and ad hoc queries.
- Bring search requests into a consistent workflow.
- Summarize relevant returned documents for faster decisions.
- Use filters, time ranges, and pagination supported by the query action.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Ably and Elasticsearch once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis from any channel.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to query the named index using the search context in the request and summarize matching documents.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real request and check that the returned matches fit the question.
Questions about this workflow
Does this workflow invent query criteria?
No. It uses the index and search context provided in the request or instruction. Include the filters and time range you need.
Can Notis summarize the results?
Yes. Notis can analyze the documents Elasticsearch returns and present a concise explanation.
