Trigger
Webhook received

Action

Why this helps
An unexpected number can trigger a flurry of messages while the evidence and unresolved questions remain scattered.
- Keep evidence and interpretation together.
- Separate observed results from unanswered questions.
- Give collaborators a clear starting point for follow-up.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect ClickHouse and Google Drive once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it for anomaly investigations.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to document the supplied result, summarize what it shows, label uncertainties, and save the note in Drive.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real unusual result and review the evidence and uncertainty sections.
Questions about this workflow
Does Notis decide whether something is an anomaly?
It can analyze the supplied result, but it needs a threshold, expected range, or other baseline if the definition depends on one.
What should the webhook include?
Include the metric or query output, relevant time range, and any expected range or context needed to interpret it.
Where does the note go?
The instruction can specify a Drive folder, provided the folder details are available to the automation.
