Questions about this workflow
How does Notis know what counts as recent?
Specify the time window in your instruction or schedule. Notis can only use dates and history returned by Agility CMS.
Can it avoid repeating old items?
Ask Notis to use available publication dates or identifiers to focus on new items. If the source response lacks history, provide a baseline or review process.
