Trigger

Action

Create Dashboard

Tool to create a new dashboard in kibana. use when you need to create a dashboard to visualize data. dashboards can contain visualizations, saved searches, and other embeddable objects.

Why this helps

New channels often begin without the operational context that the team will need to revisit.

  • Give a new operations workstream a shared dashboard starting point.
  • Reduce setup work that is easy to postpone.
  • Connect team coordination with operational visibility.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Slack and Kibana to Notis once in the portal.
  • 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis conversationally.
  • 3Write one plain-language instruction to create a Kibana dashboard when a new Slack operations channel is created.
  • 4Select the Slack new-channel trigger, choose a channel for run reports, and test by creating an approved test channel.

Questions about this workflow

Will this create a dashboard for every new channel?

Tell Notis to act only when the new channel is for operations or another workstream that needs a dashboard.

Can I review the dashboard?

Yes. Review the created dashboard in Kibana after the test run.
