Turn research signals from Ably into Dovetail insights
When a clear finding emerges, send the evidence through Ably and ask Notis to write it up as a Dovetail insight.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create Insight
Save a research insight, optionally linking it to a project.
Why this helps
Teams can collect useful evidence but still struggle to turn it into a concise, reusable finding.
- Convert evidence into a readable finding.
- Keep the insight tied to the supplied research context.
- Reduce the gap between collecting evidence and sharing what it means.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Ably and Dovetail once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis from any channel.
- 3Describe that when Ably delivers a research signal, Notis should synthesize only the supplied evidence and create a Dovetail insight in the named project.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real signal and check the resulting insight.
Questions about this workflow
Will Notis invent supporting evidence?
The instruction should tell Notis to use only evidence supplied in the webhook. If evidence is thin or conflicting, ask it to say so instead of presenting a firm finding.
Does the workflow analyze all Dovetail research automatically?
No. This webhook workflow uses the research signal and evidence provided with each request.
