Move trace investigation details into your workflow
Keep the trace ID with the investigation record and retrieve the detailed request flow from Datadog when needed.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Get Trace by ID
Retrieves detailed information about a specific distributed trace.
Why this helps
A trace ID in a task record is easy to leave unexplored when investigation requires another manual lookup.
- Retrieve trace details using the ID already in the investigation record.
- Bring timing, spans, errors, and metadata into investigation context.
- Reduce manual copy and lookup steps.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect AnyDB and Datadog once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it for trace investigations.
- 3Tell Notis to retrieve the Datadog trace using the trace ID supplied in each incoming record and summarize relevant details.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real investigation record containing a valid trace ID.
Questions about this workflow
What must the record include?
It must include the Datadog trace ID. Notis should report a missing ID rather than attempt a lookup without one.
What does the action retrieve?
It retrieves detailed information about a specific trace, including spans, timing information, errors, and metadata.
