Spot recurring themes in field observations
Bring a defined set of project observations into Notis through a webhook. Notis can summarize recurring themes and save a Dovetail insight grounded in those observations.
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
Patterns across projects are easy to miss when observations stay in separate job records.
- Review several supplied observations together.
- Keep the insight tied to its evidence and source context.
- Make recurring field themes easier to share.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Acculynx and Dovetail once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation and describe how to synthesize supplied observations into an evidence-based Dovetail insight.
- 3Choose the Notis webhook trigger and a destination for run reports.
- 4Test with a small real set of observations and review the insight for unsupported claims.
Questions about this workflow
Will Notis find patterns across every Acculynx project?
Only if the relevant observations are included in the webhook request or otherwise available to the connected assistant. The workflow cannot assume access to unprovided history.
How should the insight handle conflicting observations?
Instruct Notis to call out differences and uncertainty, and provide enough source detail to distinguish each observation.
