Create a Contentful snapshot from a webhook
Turn structured inbound events into repeatable Contentful snapshots.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
GraphQL Content API Persisted Query
Tool to execute a persisted GraphQL query via its SHA256 hash. Use after registering a query hash to run cached queries by hash. On first call include full query text; thereafter invoke with only hash and variables.
Why this helps
Snapshot requests are easy to delay when they depend on a person starting the query.
- Make snapshot generation repeatable
- Keep inbound requests tied to trusted queries
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slackbot and Contentful graphql once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation named Webhook Persisted Content Snapshot.
- 3Describe how to pass webhook variables to the registered persisted query and summarize the returned snapshot.
- 4Choose a Notis webhook trigger, select the report destination, and test with one real payload.
