Know which Elasticsearch fields are available for a task lookup
When a task points to a dataset you have not searched recently, retrieve the index mapping and see its field types before planning the next query.
Trigger
New Task Created
A new task is added.
Action
Get Index Schema
View the structure and field mappings of an index.
Why this helps
Unfamiliar index fields can turn a quick task related lookup into a slow round of guesswork.
- See the mapping for a specified index in response to a relevant task.
- Understand available field names and types before designing a query.
- Avoid relying on undocumented index structure.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Todoist and Elasticsearch once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, then New Automation.
- 3Tell Notis to retrieve the mapping for the index named in, or associated with, a qualifying new task.
- 4Pick Todoist New Task Created as the trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real task and verify the intended index name is available in the task details or instruction.
Questions about this workflow
Will Notis infer an index name if the task does not include one?
The task event is documented as a new task being added. Provide the index name in the task or the automation instruction; do not assume the event supplies an index field.
What does the schema action return?
It retrieves the complete schema or mapping for a specific Elasticsearch index, including its structure and field types.
