Build a Dated Competitor Technology Log
Capture each competitor research pass in a sheet that makes past checks easier to revisit.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Batch update spreadsheet
Updates a specified range in a google sheet with given values, or appends them as new rows if `first cell location` is omitted; ensure the target sheet exists and the spreadsheet contains at least one worksheet.
Why this helps
Competitor research loses value when findings have no clear date or consistent place to compare.
- Keep dated research passes in one place.
- Make repeat observations easier to compare.
- Capture technology context alongside the competitor website.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect BuiltWith and Google Sheets once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis the outcome in plain language.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to research the submitted competitor website and update the log with the check date and findings.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one real competitor website and confirm the record is easy to compare later.
Questions about this workflow
Does BuiltWith provide historical changes for this workflow?
The listed BuiltWith description supports analyzing website technologies and tracking adoption trends, but does not specify a history endpoint. The sheet records each run; historical comparisons depend on those saved records.
How does a check start?
Send an HTTP request to the Notis webhook with the competitor website to check.
Can Notis compare this check with an earlier one?
Notis can analyze returned data against prior records if those records are available in the sheet.
