Bring backup status into release review
A release review request can trigger a fresh backup summary, helping you check the available backup context as part of an established handoff.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
List Backups
Tool to list all backups in a ServerAvatar organization. Use when you need to retrieve backup information including status, size, and expiration dates.
Why this helps
Backup checks can be missed when release preparation involves many separate reminders and tools.
- Tie backup review to an existing release checkpoint.
- See backup status without a separate manual lookup.
- Reduce reliance on remembering a standalone check.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect U301 and Serveravatar to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create the automation in the portal or ask Notis to set it up conversationally.
- 3Use one plain-language instruction asking Notis to list organization backups and summarize status, size, and expiration when a release review request arrives.
- 4Choose an incoming webhook trigger and reporting channel.
- 5Test with a real release review request and verify the backup summary.
Questions about this workflow
Does this guarantee a release is safe?
No. It provides backup information for your review and does not make release decisions.
Can this run on a recurring schedule instead?
