- Skip results without a clearly stated date.

- 5Test it with one real competitor announcement request.
Questions about this workflow
Will it create events for rumored dates?
Instruct Notis to create events only when a result states a specific date, and to skip rumors or unclear timing.
Can the event include the research source?
Yes. Ask Notis to include the result URL and a short context summary in the event details.
