Turn competitor observations into a clear brief
Send Notis the competitor data you collected and get a readable update focused on what changed and why it may matter.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create email draft
Creates a gmail email draft, supporting to/cc/bcc, subject, plain/html body (ensure `is html=true` for html), attachments, and threading.
Why this helps
Competitor research often produces more rows than a founder has time to review, so meaningful changes get lost.
- Condense observations into a quick-to-scan email.
- Ask for changes and implications to be separated clearly.
- Review the summary before sharing it.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Apify and Gmail once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Tell Notis to summarize the supplied competitor observations, note missing comparison context, and create a Gmail draft.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real competitor dataset and verify the summary against its source.
Questions about this workflow
Can Notis determine what changed over time?
Only if the supplied data includes a prior baseline or history. Provide that comparison data, or ask for a summary of the current observations alone.
Can the draft include a recommendation?
Yes, if you ask for one, but the recommendation should be clearly based on the supplied observations and any context you provide.
