Connect Slack metric questions with Elasticsearch data
Turn a metric question into a focused search for related records, so investigation can begin while the signal is fresh.
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
Query Index
Tool to query an elasticsearch index with various filters, time ranges, and pagination support. use when you need to search for documents in an index with complex filtering criteria.
Why this helps
Metric questions often trigger context switching between a conversation and the data needed to investigate it.
- Start investigations with relevant records in view.
- Keep metric questions connected to the data behind them.
- Reduce the overhead of finding the right search context.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Elasticsearch to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation through the portal or by asking Notis conversationally.
- 3Describe in one prompt which metric discussions should trigger a query and what time context to use.
- 4Pick the channel-message trigger and report channel, then test with a real metric question.
