Notis

Put ClickHouse anomalies on your calendar

A surprising metric should lead to a clear next step. Send query results to Notis and put an investigation block on your calendar.

Trigger

Webhook received

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.

Action

Create Event

Creates an event on a google calendar, needing rfc3339 utc start/end times (end after start) and write access to the calendar. by default, adds the organizer as an attendee unless exclude organizer is set to true.

Why this helps

Metric alerts can get buried while you switch between dashboards, messages, and your calendar.

  • Turn a returned metric and threshold into a review block
  • Include the query time window and relevant result details
  • Keep investigation follow-up visible on your calendar

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect ClickHouse and Google Calendar once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis to create it from any channel.
  • 3In one instruction, say to review webhook query results and create a calendar event when a specified metric crosses your threshold.
  • 4Choose the webhook trigger and where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real ClickHouse result and confirm the event details.

Questions about this workflow

Does ClickHouse start this automation by itself?

No. ClickHouse has no trigger events in this workflow package. A Notis webhook starts the automation, and you can send it query results from a system that runs your ClickHouse query.

Can the automation decide what counts as an anomaly?

Tell Notis the metric and threshold in its instruction, or include them with the webhook request. The workflow should not assume a threshold or baseline that was not supplied.

Which calendar event action does it use?

It uses Create Event. Google Calendar requires valid RFC3339 UTC start and end times, with the end after the start.
