Create a glossary from parsed research
Keep definitions for unfamiliar research terms beside the source text, ready when you return to the document.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Get Word Definition
Retrieves dictionary information for a word, with limited coverage beyond English.
Why this helps
Research notes become harder to use when key terms are scattered across documents and browser searches.
- Collect dictionary details for selected terms.
- Keep a reference alongside extracted research text.
- Make it easier to resume reading after a context switch.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Airparser and Dictionary api once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation from any channel, or in Automations, New Automation.
- 3Tell Notis to identify key unfamiliar terms in each parsed research document and return a concise glossary with dictionary details.
- 4Choose the Notis webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real research document and refine which terms count as useful.
Questions about this workflow
Can this explain specialized concepts beyond a dictionary definition?
Dictionary api returns lexical data such as definitions, phonetics, etymology, synonyms, and antonyms. It may not explain specialized concepts fully.
How do I avoid a glossary with too many entries?
Specify a limit or selection rule in the prompt, such as only defining unfamiliar terms that appear central to the document.
What information needs to be in the webhook request?
Include the parsed document text or relevant extracted fields so Notis can identify terms to look up.
