Turn a space path in an email into useful context immediately.

Trigger

New Outlook Message

Triggered when a new message is received in the Outlook mailbox.

Action

Retrieve Space Details

Tool to retrieve details for a single space by its path. use when you need metadata for a space before provisioning a cluster. use after confirming this detail exists. e.g., 'omc/bonsai/us-east-1/common'.

Why this helps

Teams often receive a path without the metadata needed to interpret or validate it.

  • Answer technical requests faster
  • Reduce manual path lookups
  • Make metadata easy to scan

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Outlook and Bonsai in Notis once.
  • 2Create an automation named Email space path metadata retrieval.
  • 3Tell Notis to find each Bonsai space path in a new email, retrieve its details, and summarize metadata relevant to the sender's request.
  • 4Choose New Outlook Message as the trigger.
  • 5Pick a report channel and test with one email containing a space path.

Questions about this workflow

What if the path is incomplete?

Notis should report the missing segment and ask for the complete path.

Can it provision from the path?

No. This workflow retrieves details only.
