Notis

Start a controlled database restore

Send an approved recovery request to Notis to create a new database from a selected backup, then track the returned operation status.

Trigger

Webhook received

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.

Action

Restore Database Backup

Restore database backup to new database instance. creates new database from existing backup with specified name. operation is asynchronous - monitor the returned database status for completion. restoration may take several minutes.

Why this helps

Recovery steps are stressful when backup selection and restore initiation depend on ad hoc coordination.

  • Give an approved recovery request a clear path to restoration.
  • Restore to a new instance while preserving the source database.
  • Report the asynchronous status so follow-up is visible.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Prisma to Notis once through the portal.
  • 2Create an automation with a prompt to restore only the specified backup to a new database for an approved recovery request.
  • 3Choose an incoming webhook trigger and have the authorized recovery process send the request.
  • 4Select a run-report channel and test in a non-production recovery scenario.

Questions about this workflow

Does restore overwrite the existing database?

The action creates a new database instance from the backup.

Is the restore immediate?
