Get the ClickHouse table details you need when a new file arrives
A new Box file may prompt a data review. Notis can retrieve the schema for a ClickHouse table you specify and report its structure.
Trigger
New File Added to Folder
Triggers when a new file is added to a folder in Box. This trigger monitors a specific Box folder and fires when new files are detected. Only files (not folders or web links) are monitored.
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
You often need to inspect table columns and types before deciding how a new file relates to your analytics.
- Bring table definitions into the same workflow report as the new file event.
- Make column names and types easier to consult before planning a query.
- Avoid manually switching between Box and ClickHouse for an initial schema check.

- 4Pick Box's New File Added to Folder trigger and select the folder to monitor.
- 5Choose a report channel, then test with one real file addition and confirm the schema details are useful.
