Capture a competitor search snapshot on demand
Start a focused competitor query when you need it, then keep the resulting snapshot with your planning notes.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Batch update spreadsheet
Updates a specified range in a google sheet with given values, or appends them as new rows if `first cell location` is omitted; ensure the target sheet exists and the spreadsheet contains at least one worksheet.
Why this helps
Competitor research often lands in one-off conversations and is difficult to compare during planning.
- Start research from an HTTP request.
- Keep the snapshot beside other planning data.
- Make findings easier to review before a decision.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Autom and Google Sheets once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations and name it for competitor snapshots.
- 3In one instruction, ask Autom to search the named competitor or topic and update the intended existing range with dated findings and concise summaries.
- 4Pick a webhook trigger, choose where run reports go, and test with one real example.
Questions about this workflow
What starts the automation?
An HTTP request to its Notis webhook starts it. The request can provide the competitor or topic for the search.
Does the destination range need to exist?
Yes. Batch update requires the target sheet to exist. Specify an existing range in your instruction.
