Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.

- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to summarize the forecast for your specified research location and save it as a dated note in the specified Dovetail project.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule that suits research days and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real example and review the saved note.
