Turn a dataset request into a Databox dataset
When a request comes in, create the Databox dataset structure using the title, source, and primary keys provided.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create Dataset
Creates a dataset in Databox.
Why this helps
Dataset setup can be delayed when the right source ID and record keys are not collected together.
- Start dataset setup from an incoming request.
- Keep source and primary key details together.
- Get a run report after creation.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Databox to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a clear name.
- 3Tell Notis to create a Databox dataset using the supplied title, data source ID, and primary keys.
- 4Pick the Notis webhook trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real example that includes the dataset details.
Questions about this workflow
What does this action need?
It needs a dataset title, a Databox data source ID, and primary keys for unique record identification.
Does it add data records too?
No. Dataset creation initializes the dataset; use a separate push action to ingest records.
