Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action

Why this helps
An isolated observation is easy to forget before it can be compared with others.
- Keep observations ready for later comparison.
- Preserve the context around each observation.
- Make research capture a lighter step.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect AnyDB and Dovetail in Notis once.
- 2Create an automation in Notis and describe the outcome in one instruction.
- 3Pick the webhook trigger for a new observation submission.
- 4Choose where Notis should send run reports.
- 5Test with one real observation.
Questions about this workflow
Can this group observations into themes?
This workflow saves notes. Grouping requires a separate instruction and suitable theme context.
What happens if context is missing?
The note can only contain information present in the AnyDB submission and webhook context.
