Find ClickHouse databases when a spreadsheet is created

Start a new spreadsheet project with a quick view of the ClickHouse databases available to it.

Trigger

New Spreadsheet Created

Triggers when a new Google Spreadsheet is created. This trigger monitors Google Spreadsheets and fires when new spreadsheets are detected. Uses timestamp filtering to efficiently detect newly created spreadsheets.

Action

List ClickHouse Databases

List all databases in the clickhouse instance. useful for discovering available databases before querying tables.

Why this helps

New reporting projects often begin with uncertainty about where the relevant data lives.

  • See available ClickHouse databases as a new spreadsheet project starts.
  • Reduce manual discovery before building reports.
  • Get a concise database list in a chosen channel.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Google Sheets and ClickHouse once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
  • 3Describe in one instruction how to report the ClickHouse databases that could support the new spreadsheet.
  • 4Pick New Spreadsheet Created as the trigger and choose where run reports go.
  • 5Test with one real new spreadsheet and review the result.

Questions about this workflow

Does the action choose which database is right?

The action lists databases. Describe any criteria Notis should use to highlight likely options; your instruction needs to supply that context.

Can it query a database after listing it?

This workflow uses the database listing action. A separate automation can use an appropriate query action once you know the target database.
