Share scheduled topic trend scans in Slack

Keep a lightweight pulse on a topic your team cares about, with sources attached to the observations.

Trigger

Recurring schedule

Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.

Action

Post message to channel

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

Why this helps

Keeping up with a changing topic takes repeated searches and time to turn results into something shareable.

  • Reduce repeated manual searches for the same topic.
  • See the themes Autom identifies in returned results.
  • Give teammates source links for follow-up.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Autom and Slack once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation and describe the topic, analysis focus, and Slack scan format.
  • 3Pick a recurring schedule as the trigger.
  • 4Choose where Notis should send run reports.
  • 5Test with one real topic scan and verify its source links.

Questions about this workflow

Can this prove that a trend is growing?

A single scan can identify themes in returned results, but proving growth needs comparable historical data. Supply a baseline or ask for observations without trend claims.

Can I focus the scan on a specific market?

Describe the market or scope in your instruction. Autom can only analyze what its search results support.
