Give reusable Flux snippets a quick structure check

Make shared query snippets easier to trust by inspecting their AST when teammates post them for reuse.

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

Generate Flux Query AST

Tool to generate a Flux query Abstract Syntax Tree (AST). Use when you need to inspect the structure of a Flux script. Use after composing your Flux query; this validates syntax and returns the AST (does not check semantic correctness).

Why this helps

A handy snippet may be copied widely before anyone checks whether its script structure is valid.

  • Add a lightweight check before snippets spread across projects.
  • Reduce repeated manual query review steps.
  • Keep useful snippets connected to a validation result.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Slack and InfluxDB Cloud to Notis once in the portal.
  • 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis to check reusable Flux snippets shared in Slack.
  • 3Write one plain-language prompt to recognize a proposed snippet and request AST generation.
  • 4Select Channel Message Received and choose the channel for run reports.
  • 5Test with one real snippet and review the generated AST.

Questions about this workflow

Does a valid AST mean the snippet gives the right results?

No. AST generation checks syntax structure, not whether the query returns the intended data.

Can the automation run a Flux query?

No. This action generates the AST for inspection; it does not execute the query.
