Understand service relationships behind a deal
When a deal needs technical context, bring Datadog's service inventory and dependency view into the review.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
List APM Services
Lists application performance monitoring services.
Why this helps
Deal discussions can stall when nobody has a quick view of which services are involved or connected.
- Brings service inventory into a deal review
- Clarifies upstream and downstream relationships for a specified service
- Cuts time spent switching between business and APM tools
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Affinity and Datadog once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis to create it from any channel.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to list Datadog APM services and retrieve dependencies for a service name supplied with the deal context.
- 4Choose a webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real service name and verify the dependency summary.
Questions about this workflow
Can the workflow discover which service belongs to a deal?
Not on its own unless Affinity data or the webhook input supplies a service name that can be matched in Datadog.
What does the dependency lookup show?
It retrieves upstream services that call the specified service and downstream services that it calls.
Does this create an APM service?
No. It lists existing Datadog APM services and retrieves dependency information.
