Notis

Start an Elasticsearch search from an HTTP request

When an external process sends a request, Notis can query the index and return a concise report of relevant records.

Trigger

Webhook received

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

Action

Query Index

Searches an Elasticsearch index for documents.

Why this helps

Manual searches slow down follow-up when another system already knows a lookup is needed.

  • Start a search from an HTTP request.
  • Use request context in the query instruction when provided.
  • Receive matching records in a Notis run report.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Elasticsearch once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
  • 3Tell Notis which index to query and how to use information supplied by the request.
  • 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports go.
  • 5Test by sending one real request and reviewing the results.

Questions about this workflow

What starts this automation?

An HTTP request to its webhook starts it.
