Keep a weekly record of competitor ads
A scheduled review turns competitor ad observations into a brief your team can revisit without rebuilding the analysis.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Create Doc
Creates a document in a project; its content is stored but not returned.
Why this helps
Without a regular record, new ad patterns are easy to miss and past observations are difficult to compare.
- Create a repeatable place for weekly observations.
- Summarize prominent ad themes and notable changes.
- Make the brief available with the rest of your Dovetail research.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Adyntel and Dovetail once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3Tell Notis to review the specified competitors' LinkedIn ads and write a concise weekly brief in a Dovetail doc, noting when comparison data is unavailable.
- 4Pick the notis_cron trigger and set the schedule, then choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real run and check the doc content in Dovetail.
Questions about this workflow
Can it reliably identify what changed since last week?
Only if prior reports or a baseline are available to the workflow. Otherwise, it can summarize the current review and state that comparison data is missing.
How often does it run?
You choose the recurring schedule when selecting the notis_cron trigger.
Can I limit the review to certain competitors?
Yes. Name the competitors in the automation instruction and provide any needed selection criteria.
