Action
Database Selection
Tool to select the database (archive, realtime, combined) to query at the top level of a graphql request. use after determining whether you need live, historical, or combined blockchain data.
Why this helps
Using the wrong database creates stale results or unnecessary query delays.
- Align queries with research intent
- Avoid avoidable delays
- Make database choices explicit
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect YouTube and Bitquery once
- 2Create an automation
- 3Tell Notis to choose archive, realtime, or combined Bitquery data for each new subscription and explain why
- 4Pick New YouTube Channel Subscription as the trigger and select a report channel
- 5Test with one source needing historical or live context
Questions about this workflow
Can the choice change by question?
Yes, instruct Notis to choose based on whether the task needs historical, live, or mixed data.
Does this also run the query?
Database selection sets the query context; add a query instruction if you want results in the same run.
