Prepare a Databox dataset for extracted records

Use a webhook request to start a new document reporting stream with a Databox dataset ready for its records.

Trigger

Webhook received

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

Action

Create Dataset

Creates a dataset in Databox.

Why this helps

Document reporting is harder to start when the destination dataset and its unique record keys are not prepared.

  • Initialize a dataset for a defined document reporting purpose.
  • Set primary keys for identifying unique records.
  • Prepare a destination for later document data ingestion.

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 dataset using the supplied title, data source ID, and primary keys for unique record identification.
  • 4Pick the Notis webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real setup request and confirm the dataset in Databox.

Questions about this workflow

What does dataset creation require?

The action requires a dataset title, a Databox data source ID, and primary keys to identify unique records.

Will this action populate the dataset?

No. It initializes the dataset. Use a separate push data action to add records.
