Trigger

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 begin without a consistent place to track their operating data.
- Start project reporting promptly
- Use consistent primary keys
- Avoid setup omissions
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Outlook and Databox once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation named Calendar project dataset init.
- 3Tell Notis to create a dataset when a designated event is created, using the event details and the source ID and keys you provide.
- 4Pick New Calendar Event as the trigger.
- 5Choose a report channel, test with one project event, and verify the dataset.
Questions about this workflow
How do I identify the designated event?
Use a subject prefix or another clear rule in your instruction.
