Why this helps
Checking the same external data by hand every morning uses attention before the day gets underway.
- Put a regular data check on a schedule.
- Keep daily updates in a predictable format.
- Make it easier to scan the latest returned information.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect API Ninjas and Google Drive once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Tell Notis what data to retrieve each day and to save a brief status document in Drive.
- 4Pick a daily schedule and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real example.
Questions about this workflow
Can the daily update call out changes?
Notis can analyze returned data, but it needs prior values or a baseline if the API Ninjas response does not include them.
Can I choose the time?
Choose the recurring schedule in the trigger setup.
