Send requested records into Databox automatically
Move a prepared set of business records into Databox as soon as a request comes in.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Push Data to Dataset (V1)
Tool to push data points to a Databox dataset using the v1 API. Use when you need to ingest data records into a specific dataset by providing the dataset ID and an array of records matching the dataset schema.
Why this helps
Manual ingestion requests create delays and leave teams unsure whether the data made it into reporting.
- Reduce manual steps for recurring data delivery requests.
- Keep incoming records flowing to an existing dataset.
- Receive a run report for each requested ingestion.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Databox once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it for webhook data delivery.
- 3Describe how Notis should use the incoming dataset ID and records that match the dataset schema.
- 4Choose a webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real request and verify the ingestion status in Databox.
Questions about this workflow
What must the webhook request include?
It needs to provide the target dataset and an array of records that match that dataset's schema.
Can this create a dataset if it is missing?
No. The push action requires a dataset to exist already.
Can I check whether the push succeeded?
The action returns an ingestion ID. Use the status check action with the dataset and ingestion IDs to verify the ingestion.
