Why this helps

Manually checking commodity prices adds another recurring task to a founder's already crowded day.

  • Get a current price for the commodity you specify.
  • Avoid remembering to repeat the same lookup manually.
  • Receive updates in a report channel you already use.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Notis to Ably and Api ninjas once in the portal.
  • 2Create a new automation in Notis Automations, or describe it to Notis from any channel.
  • 3Tell Notis which commodity to check and ask it to summarize the current price.
  • 4Choose a recurring schedule and where run reports should go.
  • 5Test the workflow with one real example.

Questions about this workflow

Can I use this for any commodity?

The action looks up a real-time price by commodity name. Specify the commodity you want in your instruction.

Can I make this an on-demand check instead?

Yes. Create a separate workflow with a Notis webhook trigger if you want an HTTP request to start the lookup.
