Why this helps
A headline can prompt an important question, but the context and evidence often get lost in chat or browser tabs.
- Turns an ad hoc question into a saved research note.
- Keeps relevant news and entity context in a searchable location.
- Supports follow-up without rebuilding the research trail.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Bigdata.com MCP and Google Drive once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, with a name that identifies competitor research.
- 3Tell Notis to investigate the named competitor and announcement, summarize relevant returned evidence, and create a Drive document.
- 4Choose a webhook trigger and set the destination for run reports.
- 5Test with one real announcement and check that the saved note includes the research context.
