See contact validation activity in Datadog metrics
Give your team a simple view of how often contact checks run and how many succeed or fail.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Submit metrics
Submits custom metrics.
Why this helps
Teams often have no quick way to see whether verification requests are rising or failing more often.
- See validation activity over time in Datadog.
- Track success and failure counts when the request provides enough context.
- Reduce manual counting across validation requests.
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 the metric you want to track.
- 3Tell Notis to validate each submitted contact value with Abstract and submit a custom Datadog metric for the outcome, using only dimensions present in the request or result.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real request and check the submitted metric.
Questions about this workflow
Does this create a dashboard too?
No. This workflow submits custom metrics. A dashboard can be created separately using Datadog's dashboard action.
Can it count successful and failed checks separately?
Yes, if Abstract returns a usable outcome for the check. The prompt can submit distinct metric values based on that result.
What dimensions can I use?
Use dimensions present in the incoming request or Abstract result. Do not assume data the workflow does not receive.
