Get a recurring review of Dovetail research data
Set a regular check for research data you care about and receive a short, useful summary in your chosen channel.

Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action

Why this helps
Research data can accumulate without a dependable moment to review what has been added or changed.
- Review Dovetail data at a predictable interval.
- Focus the summary on criteria you provide.
- Receive findings and run reports in a familiar channel.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Dovetail once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a clear review name.
- 3Tell Notis which Dovetail data to retrieve and how to summarize the returned items.
- 4Choose a recurring schedule and where run reports should go.
- 5Test once with your real criteria and review whether the results are appropriately scoped.
Questions about this workflow
Can it review only recent data?
State a date filter in your instruction if the Dovetail list action supports the needed filter and the relevant date information is available.
Will it detect changes since the last run?
That requires accessible run history or a baseline. Without it, the workflow can summarize the data returned in the current run.
What happens if the search returns too many items?
Ask Notis to narrow the criteria or summarize the returned items, and review whether pagination or other available filters are needed.
