Follow a Box file comment with the ClickHouse data it calls for
Comments can contain questions that need numbers. Ask Notis to use the new comment as context for a ClickHouse query and report the result.
Trigger
New File Comment Added
Triggers when a new comment is added to a file in Box. This trigger monitors a specific Box file and fires when new comments are detected.
Action
Execute ClickHouse Query
Execute a sql query in clickhouse and return the results. this is the primary action for querying data from clickhouse databases.
Why this helps
A request gets buried in a file comment, and finding the supporting analytics becomes another separate task.
- Connect a file discussion to a requested data check.
- Summarize query results in the report channel you choose.
- Reduce the chance that a data question in a comment goes unanswered.
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 comment follow-ups.
- 3In one instruction, tell Notis how to interpret new comments and which ClickHouse data to query; specify what to do when the comment lacks enough detail.
- 4Pick Box's New File Comment Added trigger and select the file to monitor.
- 5Choose a report channel, then test with one real comment and review the query results.
Questions about this workflow
Can Notis run any SQL based on a comment?
The action can execute a SQL query, but your instruction must define the intended query and relevant data context. Notis should report when the comment does not provide enough information.
Will it reply to the Box comment?
No. The available ClickHouse action runs a query and returns results; it does not post a Box comment.
