Schedule dataset refreshes from Slack

Keep recurring data updates moving without opening a separate console.

Trigger

Direct Message Received

Triggered when a new direct message (DM) is sent to a user in Slack. Catches all DMs across all DM channels.

Action

Create Dataset Refresh Job

Tool to schedule a dataset refresh job in DataRobot. Use when you need to automate periodic data updates for a dataset. The schedule must be at least daily (hourly schedules are not supported).

Why this helps

Refresh schedules are missed when they depend on a one time manual setup.

  • Reduce stale data risk
  • Set schedules from a familiar channel
  • Make recurring maintenance explicit

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Slackbot and Datarobot in Notis once.
  • 2Create an automation named Dataset refresh scheduler.
  • 3Describe the dataset and daily-or-more-frequent schedule to create.
  • 4Pick Direct Message Received as the trigger.
  • 5Choose a report channel, then test with one real request.

Questions about this workflow

Can it schedule hourly refreshes?

DataRobot supports schedules at least daily; hourly schedules are not supported.

Can I refresh an existing dataset?

Yes, provide the dataset reference in the DM.
