Find the request trace behind a contact verification check
Pair a verification result with the trace search that can show how the request moved through your services.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Search Traces
Searches distributed traces across services.
Why this helps
When a verification request fails, finding the matching request flow can require a separate manual trace hunt.
- Search traces using request identifiers provided by the caller.
- Keep Abstract verification context with the investigation.
- Reduce manual handoff between validation and APM searches.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Abstract and Datadog once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it for trace investigation.
- 3Tell Notis to verify the submitted contact detail with Abstract and search Datadog traces using the request identifier, service, or other trace context supplied.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real example that includes an identifier known to Datadog.
Questions about this workflow
Can Abstract provide a Datadog trace ID?
No. Include a trace ID or searchable request context in the webhook if available.
What if there is no matching trace?
The workflow can report that the search returned no matching traces and include the query context used.
Can this fetch a specific trace in detail?
This workflow searches traces. A separate available action can retrieve a trace by ID when you already have that identifier.
