Why this helps
Checking which indices exist can interrupt work and leave teams searching through dashboards or scripts for basic context.
- Get an index inventory when a teammate or service asks for one.
- Reduce manual context switching between messaging tools and Elasticsearch.
- Receive a readable run report with the results.
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 list Elasticsearch indices and summarize the available names and health details.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real webhook request and review the report.
Questions about this workflow
Does Ably provide a trigger event for this workflow?
No. The workflow starts with a Notis webhook, which an external system can call when it needs an index inventory.
Can I ask for a subset of indices?
Describe the pattern or scope in the instruction. The available action supports optional filtering, but results depend on what Elasticsearch returns.
