Set up a Databox source for document reporting
When a webhook request signals a new reporting stream, have Notis create its logical data source in Databox.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create Data Source
Creates a data source in Databox.
Why this helps
Starting a new document reporting stream can stall while someone manually sets up its Databox container.
- Create a dedicated Databox container for a reporting stream.
- Reduce manual setup steps when launching document reporting.
- Use a webhook request to start the setup.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Affinda and Databox once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis in plain language from any channel.
- 3Describe the outcome: create a Databox data source using the account, title, and timezone supplied for this reporting stream.
- 4Pick the Notis webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real setup request and confirm the data source in Databox.
Questions about this workflow
What information does Databox need to create a source?
The action requires an account ID, title, and timezone. Supply these in the request or automation context.
Does creating a data source also create a dataset?
No. The Databox action creates a logical container. Dataset creation is a separate action.
