Turn a data source request into a Databox source
Send a request to your Notis webhook and have the supplied setup details turned into a Databox data source.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create Data Source
Creates a data source in Databox.
Why this helps
Data source setup can stall when account and timezone details are buried in a request.
- Start source setup from an incoming request.
- Keep the supplied title and timezone together.
- Receive a report when creation runs.
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 data source from the account ID, title, and timezone provided with the request.
- 4Pick the Notis webhook trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real example that includes the required details.
