Keep table structure close to an evolving Box discussion

When a comment is edited, the data question may change too. Retrieve the table schema you need and keep its details in the run report.

Trigger

Comment Changed

Triggers when a comment's content or details change in Box. This trigger monitors a specific Box comment and detects when any meaningful field changes, such as message text edits, tagged message changes, or modification timestamp updates.

Action

Get Table Schema

Get detailed schema information for a specific table including column definitions, types, keys, and optionally sample data. this is essential for ai agents to understand table structure before constructing queries.

Why this helps

An edited discussion can change the scope of a data request, and table details are easy to lose in the handoff.

  • Put a specified table's columns, types, and keys beside an updated discussion.
  • Make the schema easier to reference before constructing a query.
  • Keep the review tied to the comment change that prompted it.

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 the schema reference.
  • 3In one instruction, tell Notis which ClickHouse table schema to retrieve and which details to surface for the discussion.
  • 4Pick Box's Comment Changed trigger and select the comment to monitor.
  • 5Choose a report channel, then test with one real comment change and confirm the schema summary.

Questions about this workflow

Can Notis know which table the comment refers to?

Only when the comment or your instruction provides enough context. Name the table and database, or supply rules for determining them.

Does the schema lookup show analytics results?

Its purpose is to show table structure such as columns, types, and keys. Use the query action for analytics results.
