Action

Why this helps
Keeping up with several important sources creates a steady stream of tabs and repeated checking.
- Bring selected sources into one regular update.
- Include links so readers can inspect the original pages.
- Ask Notis to separate new items from pages with no relevant update when that evidence is available.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Browser tool and Slack once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation and specify the sources and roundup format in plain language.
- 3Choose a recurring Notis schedule as the trigger.
- 4Choose a run report destination, then test with a real source set.
Questions about this workflow
Can Notis identify new items since the previous roundup?
Only when it can compare against a prior result or baseline. Otherwise ask for a current roundup and avoid claiming items are new.
Do the sources need to be public?
Browser tool must be able to access them with the connection and permissions available to your setup.
