Questions about this workflow
Does this automatically establish change tracking from the beginning?
No. The List Changes action requires a page token, which can be obtained with Get Changes Start Page Token or from a previous response. Provide that token to the workflow.
Can Notis know which changes relate to Clay companies?
Only when the run has enough context to identify the relevant files or companies. Supply those criteria or context in the instruction.
