Review possible search opportunities in Slack each week
Keep potential opportunities visible without turning every search result into a task or commitment.
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
Possible opportunities get lost when search results are either ignored or treated as certain before review.
- Collect candidate opportunities from defined searches.
- Separate observed results from assumptions in the summary.
- Give the team links to validate before acting.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Autom and Slack once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation and describe the search, what qualifies as a candidate, and how uncertainty should be reported.
- 3Pick a recurring weekly schedule as the trigger.
- 4Choose where Notis should send run reports.
- 5Test with a real search and verify that the summary distinguishes evidence from inference.
Questions about this workflow
Will this create tasks for the opportunities?
No. It shares a review in Slack. A teammate can decide which, if any, candidates should become follow-up work.
Can it estimate business impact?
Only if you provide relevant data and assumptions. Web search results alone may not support reliable impact estimates.
