Why this helps
Data issues found during a quick review can be forgotten before they reach the person who can fix the Actor or source.
- Capture findings while they are fresh.
- Keep observations connected to the dataset link.
- Make follow-up easier to hand to the right person.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Apify and Google Drive once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation for Apify data quality notes.
- 3Tell Notis to create a Drive document from the validation observations and dataset links provided, separating confirmed issues from unanswered questions.
- 4Choose a webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real set of validation notes.
Questions about this workflow
Can it validate a dataset by itself?
This workflow documents validation information you provide. It cannot inspect an Apify dataset unless its content or findings are included in the request.
Can it distinguish a confirmed issue from a guess?
Yes, if the request labels the evidence or uncertainty. Notis should preserve that distinction in the document.
