Trigger

Action
Find file

Why this helps
A promising capture can become stale when its next step is never written down or revisited.
- Surface older matching documents for a fresh look.
- Reduce manual searching through Drive.
- Create a review list based on the documents found.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect CaptureKit and Google Drive once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it for research follow-up.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to search Drive for CaptureKit research older than your chosen age and summarize each matching item's source and likely review question.
- 4Pick a recurring Notis schedule and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with existing documents and confirm the age and search criteria return the intended items.
Questions about this workflow
Can Notis know whether a research item was acted on?
Only if that status is available in the returned data or included in your documents. Otherwise, the automation can surface items to review, not determine whether they are complete.
Can I choose how old an item must be?
Yes. State the age threshold in the instruction and use Drive search criteria that support it.
Will it update the old research document?
This workflow finds and summarizes matching items. It does not change them.
