Bring database context into a new Box collaboration review

A new collaborator can mean a new project handoff. Have Notis retrieve a ClickHouse database overview so you can review relevant tables and structure.

Trigger

New Folder Collaboration Created

Triggers when a new collaboration is created on a specific folder in Box. This trigger monitors a specific Box folder and fires when new collaborations are detected.

Action

Get Database Schema

Get comprehensive schema overview of an entire database including all tables and optionally their column definitions. essential for ai agents to understand the complete database structure in a single call.

Why this helps

A new project collaborator means gathering data context from another system before work can move forward.

  • Retrieve an overview of tables and optionally their columns in one action.
  • Include database context in the report generated by a new collaboration event.
  • Cut down on manual orientation when a project handoff begins.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Box and ClickHouse once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it for collaborator onboarding context.
  • 3In one instruction, tell Notis which ClickHouse database overview to retrieve and what structure to highlight for your review.
  • 4Pick Box's New Folder Collaboration Created trigger and select the folder to monitor.
  • 5Choose a report channel, then test with one real collaboration and check that the overview is relevant.

Questions about this workflow

Does the collaboration event tell ClickHouse which database to inspect?

No. Specify the ClickHouse database in your instruction or supply context that identifies it.

Does this workflow grant database access to the collaborator?

No. It retrieves schema information for your report. It does not change ClickHouse permissions or Box access.
