Share a daily industry web summary in Slack

Start with a quick scan of relevant industry results, gathered into one Slack update with links for follow-up.

Why this helps

Daily industry research can eat into focused work when it means scanning many result pages yourself.

  • Review a compact daily selection of relevant results.
  • Keep source links available for deeper reading.
  • Reduce the time spent manually gathering pages.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Autom and Slack once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation and describe your industry, relevance criteria, and summary format.
  • 3Pick a recurring daily schedule as the trigger.
  • 4Choose where Notis should send run reports.
  • 5Test with one real search and adjust the scope if the summary is too broad.

Questions about this workflow

It can apply criteria you describe to the search results Autom returns. Review the sources before acting on its summary.

Does it cover news sites only?
