Notis

Start an Elasticsearch lookup with an HTTP request

When another system has a record to investigate, a webhook can pass its search context to Notis. Notis queries the index you specify and summarizes the results.

Trigger

Webhook received

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

Action

Query Index

Searches an Elasticsearch index for documents.

Why this helps

A useful signal from another system can get lost when someone has to manually transfer its details into a separate search console.

  • Start a document search from an external HTTP request.
  • Use request details as context for the search instruction.
  • Review summarized matches in the configured run report destination.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Elasticsearch to Notis once.
  • 2Create an automation in the portal or by telling Notis what you want.
  • 3In one instruction, specify the index and how request details should guide the query and summary.
  • 4Pick the Notis webhook trigger and choose where run reports go.
  • 5Send one real example request and review the results.

What starts this workflow?

An HTTP request to the Notis webhook starts it. The request can provide source material for the instruction.
