Retrieve an Elasticsearch mapping with an HTTP request
When a team needs to understand an index before querying it, send a webhook request and have Notis return the mapping for the specified index.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Get Index Schema
View the structure and field mappings of an index.
Why this helps
People lose time guessing at field names and types when an index has not been documented for the current task.
- Request a mapping when the need arises.
- Make field names and types available in a Notis run report.
- Help prepare a well grounded follow up query.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Elasticsearch once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, then New Automation.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to retrieve the mapping for the index specified by the request or a fixed instruction.
- 4Pick a webhook trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real request that identifies the intended index.
Questions about this workflow
Does the webhook itself select an index?
An HTTP request starts the workflow. The automation needs an index name from the request or its instruction to call the schema action.
Can this workflow update the mapping?
No. The available action retrieves the mapping; it does not modify Elasticsearch indices.
