Get a focused Slack digest from Ceramic competitor searches

Collect public competitor signals in one scheduled search, then bring the useful changes to Slack with links and a short explanation of why they matter.

Trigger

Recurring schedule

Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.

Action

Post message to channel

Deprecated: posts a message to a slack channel, direct message, or private channel. use `send message` instead.

Why this helps

Competitor research gets scattered across browser tabs, making it easy to miss a meaningful launch, pricing change, or public announcement.

  • Review new public competitor signals in one place.
  • Spend less time repeating searches and switching between tabs.
  • Keep source links beside each summarized finding.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Ceramic and Slack once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis to create it from any channel.
  • 3Describe the outcome: run these Ceramic competitor searches, summarize notable new public findings with source links, and send a concise digest to Slack.
  • 4Pick a recurring schedule as the trigger and choose where Notis run reports should go.
  • 5Test the automation with one real search and review its Slack message.

Questions about this workflow

What information can this automation use?

Ceramic Search returns public web content relevant to keyword queries. It can summarize the results it receives, but a reliable comparison with an earlier baseline requires that baseline to be supplied or retained by the user.

Can I choose which searches to run?

Yes. Describe the keywords or competitor topics in the automation instruction. Notis uses your instruction to run Ceramic Search and summarize relevant results.

Does it track private competitor data?

No. Ceramic Search is described as returning public web content, so this workflow is for publicly available information.
