Trigger

Action
Create Dataset

Why this helps
Activity tracking breaks down when a playlist has no prepared dataset.
- Provides a ready reporting structure
- Prevents ad hoc tracking
- Supports later ingestion workflows

- 3Tell Notis to create a Databox dataset in my supplied data source when the first playlist change arrives, using playlist ID and track ID for unique records.
