Create Databox datasets from webhook requests
Let internal tools request a ready Databox dataset without a manual handoff.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create Dataset
Tool to create a new dataset in Databox data source. Use when you need to initialize a dataset with a title, data source ID, and primary keys for unique record identification.
Why this helps
New initiatives wait when dataset setup depends on someone noticing a request.
- Shortens setup lead time
- Standardizes dataset initialization
- Makes provisioning request driven
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Databox in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation that reads the webhook request and creates the requested dataset with its title, data source ID, and primary keys.
- 3Pick an HTTP webhook as the trigger.
- 4Choose a report channel and test with one setup request.
Questions about this workflow
Can the webhook create a data source too?
This workflow creates a dataset and expects a valid data source ID. Use a data source workflow when a container is also needed.
What if required values are missing?
Tell Notis to report the missing values and leave the request unexecuted.
