Review the alternatives landscape once a quarter
A quarterly search makes it easier to notice public changes in the alternatives customers consider without keeping a live tab open all year.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Search Linkup
This tool allows users to search and retrieve insights using the linkup api. it implements a search functionality via the post /search endpoint and supports various parameters including 'query', 'depth', and 'output type' (with options such as 'sourcedanswer', 'searchresults', and 'structured'). optional inclusion of images is available via the include images parameter.
Why this helps
Alternative and competitor research often gets deferred until planning time, when founders need a current view quickly.
- Set a predictable cadence for landscape research.
- Search for public changes since the previous review.
- Keep source links ready for planning discussions.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linkup to Notis once through the portal; connect Customjs too if your instruction uses it.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis to scan your alternatives landscape quarterly.
- 3Write one instruction asking Linkup to search for recent public changes among the alternatives you care about.
- 4Select a quarterly recurring trigger and a channel for run reports, then test with one real search.
Questions about this workflow
Does it track changes automatically between runs?
Each scheduled run performs the requested search. The prompt can specify the time period or changes you want to review.
Can I keep the scan limited?
Yes. Name the relevant category, alternatives, and types of updates in the instruction.
