Turn recurring market research into useful questions
Keep your market research focused with a weekly summary of findings and the questions they raise.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Create email draft
Creates a gmail email draft, supporting to/cc/bcc, subject, plain/html body (ensure `is html=true` for html), attachments, and threading.
Why this helps
Broad research can generate more information than you can act on, with no clear next question to answer.
- Organize recurring research around a market you specify.
- Make unknowns and follow-up questions explicit.
- Keep the research summary in a reviewable Gmail draft.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Bigpicture io and Gmail once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation and describe the market research outcome.
- 3Ask Notis to research the market you name and draft findings, uncertainties, and follow-up questions in Gmail.
- 4Choose a recurring schedule and where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real market topic and review the output.
Questions about this workflow
Does it track changes against prior weeks?
Only if prior research is available to the automation. Provide a baseline or history if you want comparisons.
Can I focus the research?
Specify the market, company set, and questions you want explored.
