Why this helps
Competitor research often stalls when a new name lands in a spreadsheet and nobody has time to investigate it.
- Start research when a new competitor row appears.
- Use the website or research brief already present in the row.
- Keep findings available for a human to review.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Sheets and Browser tool once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Tell Notis to research public information for each new competitor row using its website or research brief.
- 4Pick the New Rows in Google Sheet trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real competitor row.
Questions about this workflow
What should the sheet include?
Include a competitor name and preferably a public website or a clear research brief so the browser task has a starting point.
Does this workflow update the sheet?
No. It uses the browser to research and reports the run; this package does not define a Google Sheets action.
