Questions about this workflow
Can Notis identify feature updates from Beamer activity?
Notis can analyze the activity Beamer returns. If the records do not distinguish feature updates from other announcements, say how to recognize them or provide the criteria.
Will it only post new updates since the last run?
That depends on the activity data available to the workflow. If Beamer does not provide a reliable baseline or time range, include the desired time window in the instruction.
