- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to retrieve the author list and highlight any author specified in the comment.
- 4Pick New Comment on Task as the trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real comment about an author.
Questions about this workflow
Can the workflow create or edit authors?
No. Get Authors retrieves the author list for display or processing.
Can it identify a person from only a partial name?
Notis can summarize the retrieved list, but include a clear name or reference in the comment to reduce ambiguity.
