Trigger

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

Action

Get Table Schema

Gets the schema and column details for a table.

Why this helps

A promising data table is hard to use when its columns and keys are unfamiliar.

  • Retrieve detailed structure for a specific table on request.
  • Reduce guesswork before drafting an analysis query.
  • Include optional sample data to make unfamiliar columns easier to interpret.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Agenty and ClickHouse once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation and instruct Notis to inspect the specified ClickHouse table for the supplied research question.
  • 3Pick a webhook trigger for the HTTP request that starts the run.
  • 4Choose where Notis should send run reports.
  • 5Test with one real table name and a research question.

Questions about this workflow

Can Notis choose the table without any context?

Provide the database and table context or first use a table listing workflow. Notis should not assume a table that has not been identified.

Can this action return sample data?

The table schema action optionally includes sample data, depending on the action configuration and available response.
