Review Elasticsearch fields when Box file metadata changes
A changed file name or description can prompt a search workflow review. Retrieve the Elasticsearch mapping to see which fields are available for follow-up searches.
Trigger
File Metadata Changed
Fires when a file’s metadata or properties change.
Action
Get Index Schema
View the structure and field mappings of an index.
Why this helps
It is hard to plan a reliable document lookup when you are unsure which fields an Elasticsearch index contains.
- Retrieve the mapping for a specified Elasticsearch index
- See field names and types in the automation run report
- Use the schema when planning a follow-up search
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect your Box and Elasticsearch accounts once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create a new automation in the portal or tell Notis what outcome you want from any channel.
- 3Ask Notis to retrieve the mapping for a specified Elasticsearch index when Box file metadata changes and report its available fields.
- 4Choose the Box File Metadata Changed trigger and where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real metadata change and review the schema report.
Questions about this workflow
Does this compare Box metadata directly with the Elasticsearch schema?
No. The workflow reports the index mapping when the Box event fires. The available actions do not compare fields across the two apps.
Can it choose the Elasticsearch index automatically?
The index must be specified in your instruction. The schema action retrieves the mapping for a specific index.
