- 5Test with one real topic.
Questions about this workflow
What counts as a commercial signal?
Define signals such as requests for team access, integrations, training, or a broader rollout in your instruction.
Can it avoid speculative opportunities?
Yes. Tell Notis to create an opportunity only when the topic contains a concrete need or next step.
