Why this helps

It is easy to lose track of available analytics databases when work is spread across projects and course launches.

  • Get a current list of databases on a recurring schedule.
  • Reduce time spent searching for the right analytics environment.
  • Send run reports to a place your team already checks.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect ClickHouse once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation and ask Notis to list databases and summarize changes if prior context is available.
  • 3Pick a recurring schedule and choose where run reports go.
  • 4Set the schedule and timezone that fit your review routine.
  • 5Test with one real run.

Questions about this workflow

Can this report database changes over time?

It can compare results only if prior inventories are available to the automation or supplied in a data source. Otherwise it reports the current list.

Does this need a Canvas event?

No. This workflow uses a Notis schedule to periodically inspect ClickHouse.
