Keep host tags current after account changes
Use an account update as a reminder to refresh relevant Datadog host tags with values your team provides.
Trigger
Account Created or Updated
Triggers when an Account is created or updated in Salesforce. Uses LastModifiedDate high-watermark to capture both creations and updates.
Action
Update host tags
Updates tags for a specific host in datadog. this replaces all existing tags from the specified source with the new tags provided.
Why this helps
Infrastructure tags can become stale when customer or account context changes and updates need manual coordination.
- Tie an account change to a deliberate host tag update.
- Reduce missed tag maintenance steps.
- Keep tag values explicit in the automation instruction.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Salesforce and Datadog once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis from any channel.
- 3Ask Notis in one instruction to update tags on a specified Datadog host after a Salesforce account change, supplying the host identifier, source, and complete replacement tag set.
- 4Pick the Account Created or Updated trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real account change and verify the resulting host tags.
Questions about this workflow
