Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action

Why this helps
Competitor changes can be missed when page checks and notes live in separate places.
- Keep observations in a dated, readable history.
- Call out meaningful changes for human review.
- Avoid treating missing comparison data as a confirmed change.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect BrowserAct and Google Drive once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3Tell Notis to summarize submitted competitor page observations and, when prior records are available, distinguish confirmed changes from items needing review before creating a Drive document.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Submit one real page observation and check the wording against the source result.
Questions about this workflow
Can it determine what changed without an earlier capture?
No. It can report the current observation, but needs a prior capture or user-provided baseline to identify changes.
Where does the comparison history come from?
The prompt can ask Notis to find prior Drive records. The workflow should flag a missing baseline when none is found.
