Start an Elasticsearch search with a Notis webhook
When another system sends an HTTP request to Notis, search Elasticsearch for the records your instruction describes.
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
Useful search context can be stranded in another system unless someone manually starts the query in Elasticsearch.
- Start a targeted Elasticsearch lookup from an HTTP event.
- Keep search instructions in a Notis automation.
- Review a concise summary of returned documents.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Elasticsearch once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create a new automation in Automations, or tell Notis the outcome in plain language from any channel.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to query a specified Elasticsearch index using the information supplied with the webhook and summarize relevant results.
- 4Choose a webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Send one real test request and review the result.
Questions about this workflow
Does this create the webhook request for another system?
No. The automation starts when an HTTP request reaches its Notis webhook trigger. Configure the sending system to make that request.
Can it query any index automatically?
Specify the index or a reliable way to identify it in the instruction. Query Index operates on an index.
