Why this helps
Usage patterns are easy to overlook when the data is scattered across API views and checked only when a problem arises.
- Make usage patterns easier to review as a team.
- Highlight unusual results when supporting data is available.
- Give follow-up owners a shared summary to work from.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Api labz and Slack once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation and explain which API usage information to summarize and what patterns to call out.
- 3Choose a Notis cron trigger and set a weekly schedule.
- 4Choose where Notis run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real usage example and review the Slack summary.
