- Use table metadata to prepare for a data task.
- Start the lookup from a task-related webhook request.
- Reduce early detours into warehouse browsing.
Setup

- 1Connect Gist and Snowflake to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create a webhook automation in Automations or ask Notis to make one conversationally.
- 3Write one prompt telling Notis to consult the Gist task context and inspect relevant Snowflake table metadata.
- 4Select an incoming webhook trigger and a run-report channel.
- 5Test with a real task and table reference, then review the returned metadata.
