  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it for word lookups.
  • 3Tell Notis: When a task comment asks for a definition and names a specific word, retrieve its definition and summarize the result.
  • 4Choose the New Comment on Task trigger and select where run reports should go.
