Create Data Source
Tool to create a new data source in Databox. Use when you need to create a logical container for datasets within a Databox account. Requires accountId, title, and timezone parameters.
Why this helps
Creating a reporting container can stall when its account and timezone details are scattered across setup notes.
- Start data source setup with an HTTP request.
- Keep data source creation tied to a clear prompt.
- Create a logical container for related Databox datasets.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Databox once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Tell Notis to create a Databox data source using the account ID, title, and timezone provided for the request.
- 4Pick a webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real request containing the required details and confirm the run report.
