Run a saved Contentful query on demand
Trigger a reusable Contentful query when a request arrives, then review the returned data in the run report.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
GraphQL Content API Persisted Query
Executes a persisted GraphQL query.
Why this helps
Repeated content lookups take time when the same query needs to be run for different request details.
- Reuse a registered query hash
- Pass request-specific variables
- Review query results in a run report
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Abstract and Contentful graphql once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name and prompt.
- 3Describe in one instruction which registered query to run and which request values to use as variables.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real request and a valid registered query hash.
Questions about this workflow
Does the query need to be registered first?
Yes. The persisted-query action runs a query by its SHA256 hash. On the first call, include the full query text to register it.
Can this action change Contentful content?
No. It executes a persisted GraphQL query and returns data; it does not publish or edit content.
