Why this helps
Research that stays in an agent report can leave collaborators unaware of useful findings.
- Share a research summary with specified users.
- Keep source details attached to the update.
- Reduce the manual effort of forwarding agent findings.

- 3Pick the Notis webhook trigger used by your Agenty workflow.

- 5Test with one real finding and verify the recipients and message.
Questions about this workflow
Can this start a new conversation?
Yes. The action can create a conversation or add to an existing one, depending on matching recipients and scope. Specify the intended behavior in your instruction.
Are recipients inferred from the research?
Provide recipient details in the instruction or Agenty result. Notis should not invent Canvas user identifiers.
