Share a monthly search landscape snapshot

Give the team a useful overview of current search results without making a large research report out of it.

Deprecated: posts a message to a slack channel, direct message, or private channel. use `send message` instead.

Why this helps

A search landscape is difficult to keep in mind when results are gathered only during one-off projects.

  • Keep a recurring view of a defined search landscape.
  • Summarize major themes and representative results.
  • Retain links for deeper review.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Autom and Slack once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation and describe the topic, search scope, and snapshot format.
  • 3Pick a recurring monthly schedule as the trigger.
  • 4Choose where Notis should send run reports.
  • 5Test with one real search and check that the scope is clear.

Questions about this workflow

Will it show what changed since the previous snapshot?

Only if the previous snapshot is available as a baseline. Otherwise, the summary should describe current results without claiming change.

Can I use it for a specific product category?

Yes. Describe the category and the searches or aspects of the landscape you want Autom to examine.
