Update heartbeat settings from an approved request
Send a structured request to Notis when an existing heartbeat needs a defined configuration change, and keep the update work together.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Update Heartbeat
Tool to update an existing heartbeat configuration. use after retrieving a heartbeat and choosing which fields to change.
Why this helps
Heartbeat adjustments can stall when an operator must translate a clear maintenance request into a separate console task.
- Start an update directly from an HTTP request.
- Require the heartbeat and requested changes to be stated.
- Keep a record of the automation run in the selected report channel.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Better Stack once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and enter a name and prompt.
- 3Tell Notis to update an existing heartbeat only when the request identifies it and states the exact configuration changes.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real request for a known heartbeat and a specific change.
Questions about this workflow
Does the webhook identify the heartbeat automatically?
The request needs to supply enough identifying information for Notis to select the intended heartbeat.
Can Notis choose new heartbeat settings?
The prompt should require explicit requested changes and avoid guessing a desired interval or status.
