Match an email request to the right blockchain data source
Have Notis interpret whether a request needs historical, current, or combined data, then select the matching database before querying.
Trigger
New Gmail Message Received Trigger
Triggers when a new message is received in Gmail.
Action
Database Selection
Tool to select the database (archive, realtime, combined) to query at the top level of a graphql request. use after determining whether you need live, historical, or combined blockchain data.
Why this helps
Choosing the wrong data source can make a wallet answer stale or incomplete.
- Match the data source to the request's time horizon
- Make data delay visible for historical results
- Avoid rerunning queries because the wrong source was chosen
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Gmail and Bitquery once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation for choosing query data sources.
- 3Tell Notis to read the requested time horizon, choose archive for full history, realtime for current activity, or combined for both, and explain the choice in its report.
- 4Select New Gmail Message Received as the trigger.
- 5Choose a report destination and test with one email each for historical and current information.
Questions about this workflow
Does selecting a database run the full query?
Database selection determines the data source for a Bitquery request. The automation instruction should also describe the requested query and report.
When is archive appropriate?
Use archive for full historical blockchain data, keeping in mind it can be delayed by tens of minutes to hours.
