Check Elasticsearch fields when a data question arrives

An email about a report or data request can prompt a quick look at the index mapping, helping you understand which fields and types are available before planning a query.

Trigger

New Email Received

Triggers when a new email arrives in an inbox.

Action

Get Index Schema

View the structure and field mappings of an index.

Why this helps

Data questions often stall while you search for schema notes or ask someone which fields an index contains.

  • Retrieve the complete mapping for an index named in your instruction.
  • Understand available field names and types before planning a query.
  • Keep the schema summary with the automation run report.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Agent mail and Elasticsearch once in Notis.
  • 2Create an automation in the portal or by telling Notis what you want.
  • 3In one instruction, specify the index whose schema to retrieve and ask for a plain-language summary of its fields and types.
  • 4Pick the Agent mail New Email Received trigger and choose where run reports go.
  • 5Test with one real email and review the schema report.

Questions about this workflow

Will the email automatically determine the index?

The workflow can use email context, but specify the index in your instruction or ensure the email supplies the needed index name.

Does the schema action query records?

No. Get Index Schema retrieves the mapping for a specific index, including field structure and types.
