See available Elasticsearch indices when a Box folder receives an item
A new Box item may need a related-record lookup. See which Elasticsearch indices are available before deciding where to search.
Trigger
New Item Added to Folder
Fires when a file, folder, or web link is added to a folder.
Action
List Indices
Lists available Elasticsearch indices.
Why this helps
When files arrive, manually checking which searchable collections exist adds another step before you can find related records.
- See available Elasticsearch indices in a run report
- Make it easier to choose an index for a later lookup
- Reduce the friction of checking the cluster manually
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 list available Elasticsearch indices whenever a new item is added to a chosen Box folder and report the results.
- 4Choose the Box New Item Added to Folder trigger and where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real item added to that folder and review the report.
Questions about this workflow
Does this search the new Box item's contents?
No. The available Elasticsearch action lists indices. It does not read the Box item or search its contents.
Can it narrow the index list?
The list action can optionally filter by pattern, health status, or other criteria. Include the filter you need in your instruction.
