Why this helps
Competitor updates are easy to miss when nobody has time to repeat searches and forward useful findings.
- Gather current competitor information on a schedule.
- Send a concise update to specified recipients.
- Keep source links with the reported signals.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Autom and Gmail once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation named Competitor Web Signal Update.
- 3Tell Notis to use Autom to summarize current public web information about the specified competitors and send recipients a concise email with source links.
- 4Pick the recurring schedule trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real competitor and review the email.
Questions about this workflow
Does the email show only changes since the last run?
Only if prior findings are available to the automation. Otherwise it summarizes the current information retrieved by Autom.
Can the update go to more than one person?
Specify the intended recipients in the automation instruction and test with an appropriate example.
