Notis

Capture survey feedback after checking respondent details

Reduce manual triage by checking respondent email details and placing the supplied feedback into a Dovetail channel as a data point.

Trigger

Webhook received

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.

Action

Create Data Point

Record and classify a data point in a channel.

Why this helps

Survey responses can arrive with uncertain respondent details and remain uncategorized while someone decides where to record them.

  • Validate an email before recording the response.
  • Keep the respondent's supplied feedback together in a Dovetail channel.
  • Start the same repeatable process from any channel that can send a webhook.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Abstract and Dovetail once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and provide its name and prompt.
  • 3Tell Notis in one instruction to validate the supplied respondent email with Abstract and, if valid, create a Dovetail data point in the identified channel using the supplied survey response.
  • 4Choose the webhook trigger and where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real response and a channel that is already identified.

Questions about this workflow

Does this workflow create a Dovetail channel?

No. It creates a data point in the channel identified in the request. The channel must already exist and be available to Dovetail.

Does Abstract analyze the survey response?

This workflow uses Abstract for email validation. Include the feedback text and the intended channel in the request.

Can it run on a schedule instead?

A schedule can start a workflow, but it needs a dependable way to supply the new response and channel details. This webhook version is suited to incoming response payloads.
