Turn a data source request into a BigML connector
Make an external data source request in Slack easier to act on by letting Notis create the BigML connector and report the result.
Trigger
Channel Message Received
Triggered when a message is posted in a Slack channel (public, private, or multi-party IM). Does NOT match direct messages.
Action
Create External Connector
Tool to create a new external connector for data sources. use after configuring external databases or search indices.
Why this helps
Data connection requests often require a follow-up in another tool, making them easy to postpone when the day is already fragmented.
- Give a concrete connector request a BigML resource to inspect.
- Reduce the gap between a Slack request and data source setup.
- Keep the status visible through an automation run report.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and BigML to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis to create a BigML external connector when a channel message requests a specific data source connection.
- 3Select the channel message received trigger and pick a channel for run reports.
- 4Test using a real connector request and inspect the resulting connector in BigML.
Questions about this workflow
What does creating the connector do?
The action creates a BigML external connector. The prompt should describe the connection request; use BigML's connector setup process for any required configuration.
Can this act on every message that mentions a data source?
Set a clear instruction so Notis acts on explicit setup requests, rather than general discussion.
