Keep scheduled Affinda processing visible
Create a heartbeat monitor for a recurring document run, so an expected check-in has a home in Better Stack.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Create Heartbeat
Creates a heartbeat monitor that checks for regular signals from a service.
Why this helps
Scheduled document runs can quietly stop, leaving teams to discover delays only when someone needs the processed data.
- Establish a Better Stack heartbeat for a recurring processing routine
- Make the expected check-in easier to monitor
- Reduce time spent wondering whether the scheduled run is configured
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Affinda and Better Stack once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3Tell Notis to create a Better Stack heartbeat for the scheduled Affinda processing routine, using only schedule details you provide or that are available in the request.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real schedule example and confirm the heartbeat details.
Questions about this workflow
Does creating a heartbeat mean Affinda will automatically send heartbeat signals?
No. This workflow creates the heartbeat monitor. The system running your job still needs to send regular signals to that monitor.
What if Notis does not know the job interval?
Provide the interval and other needed heartbeat details in your instruction or request. Notis cannot infer values that are not supplied.
