Answer index structure questions with the real schema
When someone asks what an index contains, check the mapping itself and help the team avoid assumptions.
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
Get Index Schema
Tool to get the complete schema/mapping of a specific elasticsearch index. use when you need to understand the structure, field types, and mappings of an index.
Why this helps
Unclear field names and types lead to back-and-forth and mistaken searches.
- Answer schema questions with the actual index mapping.
- Reduce interruptions to teammates who know the data model.
- Help searches start with accurate field expectations.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Elasticsearch to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Start an automation in the portal or ask Notis conversationally.
- 3Write one prompt describing index-schema questions and how Notis should identify the index to inspect.
- 4Select the channel-message trigger and a report channel, then test with a real schema question.
Questions about this workflow
Does this return the schema for any index?
The prompt should describe how the relevant index is identified; the action retrieves a specified index schema.
Does it change mappings?
No. Get Index Schema reads the mapping.
