Why this helps
Recurring reporting setup can get missed when the source needs to be created manually each period.
- Prepare a source on a predictable schedule.
- Keep the reporting period visible in the source title.
- Get a run report for each scheduled execution.
Setup

- 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 the Databox data source using the account ID, title pattern, and timezone you provide.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real example and confirm the source details.
Questions about this workflow
Can Notis infer my account and timezone?

Will this create a new source every time it runs?
