Turn ClickHouse inventory exceptions into Slack reminders
Make an inventory exception actionable with a reminder that keeps the next step close at hand.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create a reminder
Creates a slack reminder with specified text and time; time accepts unix timestamps, seconds from now, or natural language (e.g., 'in 15 minutes', 'every thursday at 2pm').
Why this helps
Low-stock signals can get buried in reports, leaving follow-up to memory.
- Start an inventory query on demand through a webhook.
- Create reminders for results that match your low-stock condition.
- Keep inventory follow-up visible without manually scanning query results.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect ClickHouse and Slack once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it for the inventory check.
- 3Describe the inventory query, the low-stock condition, and the reminder to create when it is met in one instruction.
- 4Choose a webhook as the trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real example that includes an item meeting the condition.
Questions about this workflow
Can Notis decide what counts as low stock?
Give the condition or threshold in the instruction. The ClickHouse query must return the inventory data needed to evaluate it.
How is this workflow triggered?
A webhook HTTP request starts the automation, which then checks ClickHouse and can create a Slack reminder.
