Why this helps
Vendor research is often split between browser tabs, meeting notes, and scattered documents.
- Keep a dated record of the search performed.
- Summarize public findings before a review.
- Make follow-up questions easier to prepare.
Setup

- 1Connect Autom and Google Drive once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name the vendor research workflow.
- 3Tell Notis to search the vendor name and context from the webhook request, summarize public findings and unresolved questions, and create a Drive document.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and select a report channel.
- 5Test with one real vendor name.
Questions about this workflow
Does this verify a vendor's claims?
No. It summarizes search results. Treat claims as items to verify against primary sources.
What context should I include?
Provide the vendor name and, if helpful, the product or service you are evaluating.
