Keep source group names and order current

When an approved request calls for a source group rename or reorder, Notis can carry the stated change into Better Stack.

Trigger

Webhook received

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

Action

Update Source Group

Tool to update an existing source group. use when you need to rename or reorder a source group.

Why this helps

Source group cleanup often waits because a small change still means reopening monitoring settings and finding the right group.

  • Handle clearly stated renames and reordering requests promptly.
  • Reduce manual navigation for routine organization changes.
  • Record each workflow run in the 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 add the automation name and prompt.
  • 3Tell Notis to update a source group only when the request identifies it and clearly states a new name or ordering change.
  • 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose a destination for run reports.
  • 5Test with one real request for a known group and a specific change.

Questions about this workflow

Can this create a new source group?

No. This workflow uses the update source group action for an existing group.

What if the request does not identify the existing group?

Have Notis report that the group is unclear and skip the update until it can be identified.
