- Reduces duplicate clarification work
- Reports what changed or is missing
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.

- 2Create an automation telling Notis to update a named dashboard only when an edited message contains explicit dashboard changes.
- 3Pick Message Edited for the dashboard request channel.
- 4Choose the report destination.
- 5Test with one real edited request.
Questions about this workflow
Can Notis update an unnamed dashboard?
Require a dashboard identifier or a clear lookup rule in the instruction.
Will it remove existing widgets automatically?
Only if your instruction explicitly asks for that and the request provides enough detail.
