Bring Datadog usage context into cost reviews
Give a cost review a current view of Datadog usage metrics without switching tools to look them up.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action

Why this helps
Usage information can be overlooked when a founder has to gather it separately from cost-review notes.
- Bring usage summary information into a cost-review workflow.
- Reduce time spent navigating between review notes and monitoring.
- Support better follow-up with reported usage metrics.
Setup

- 1Connect AnyDB and Datadog once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it for cost reviews.
- 3Tell Notis to retrieve Datadog usage summary information when an AnyDB review request arrives and summarize the returned figures.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real cost-review request.
Questions about this workflow
Does this calculate costs?
The action retrieves usage summary information such as API calls, hosts, and containers. It does not promise a cost calculation.
Can I request specific usage fields?
You can ask Notis to summarize the usage information Datadog returns. Availability depends on the returned data.
