Action

Why this helps
When a topic matters over time, an occasional search leaves gaps and makes findings harder to trace.
- Keep recurring topic findings in a consistent location.
- Review dated public search results and source links.
- Reduce the chance that a research check slips from the calendar.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Ceramic and Google Drive once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation named Topic Watch and describe the topic, research outcome, and note format in one instruction.
- 3Choose the notis_cron trigger and set a recurring schedule in Notis.
- 4Select where run reports should go, then test with one real topic search.
Questions about this workflow
Does this detect every change on the web?
No. It runs the requested Ceramic Search query on the schedule and records returned public content. It is not a guarantee of exhaustive change detection.
Can each run include the date?
Ask Notis to include the run date in the document title or content.
