Why this helps
Useful research can stay in a separate tool instead of reaching the people who need to discuss it.
- Share a concise finding in the relevant Canvas conversation.
- Keep the message grounded in the submitted research.
- Reduce manual copying and rewriting.

- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3Ask Notis in one instruction to summarize the submitted keyword insight and create a Canvas conversation message for the specified recipients.
- 4Pick the Notis webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real insight and intended conversation recipients.
