Update a Better Stack heartbeat from a change request
Turn an explicit heartbeat change request into an update in Better Stack, with a report of the result.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Update Heartbeat
Tool to update an existing heartbeat configuration. use after retrieving a heartbeat and choosing which fields to change.
Why this helps
Heartbeat configuration updates are easy to miss when the person receiving the request has to switch tools and recreate the change.
- Move a specified heartbeat change from request to action.
- Keep the update outcome in the chosen report channel.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Notis and Better Stack once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to update the identified heartbeat using only the specific configuration changes provided.
- 4Pick a webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real request for an existing heartbeat and a clearly specified change.
Questions about this workflow
Does the automation discover which heartbeat should change?
The request must identify the heartbeat or provide enough information for Notis to retrieve it. The available update action applies to an existing heartbeat.
Will it change every heartbeat?
No. The instruction should identify one intended heartbeat and the requested change; ambiguity should be reported.
