Track competitor listings while you focus on your next campaign
Set a schedule and let Notis queue eBay searches for products or competitors you want to monitor.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Create Collection Request
Add a data retrieval request to a collection scheduled for execution; the collection must be idle.
Why this helps
Manually repeating product searches makes competitor research easy to postpone and hard to keep consistent.
- Keep recurring competitor searches organized in a Countdown api collection.
- Reduce manual research before planning campaign emails.
- Review fresh listing data when each collection run completes.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Active campaign and Countdown api once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3Tell Notis to add your chosen eBay search queries to the specified idle collection.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real search query and confirm the request is queued.
Questions about this workflow
Does this start when an Active campaign email is sent?
No. Active campaign has no trigger events in this setup. Notis starts this workflow on the recurring schedule you choose.
What does the workflow queue?
It creates requests in an existing idle Countdown api collection using the eBay search terms you specify.
Can it decide which competitors to watch?
Tell Notis the products, brands, or search terms to use. It can organize the instruction, but it needs your criteria for which competitors matter.
