Why this helps

Choosing a category can interrupt content planning when publication options live somewhere else.

  • Reduce context switching when classifying a new idea.
  • Use the returned categories as context for a follow up or report.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Google Sheets and Curated once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
  • 3Write one instruction telling Notis to retrieve the categories for the publication when a new planning row arrives.
  • 4Pick New Rows in Google Sheet as the trigger and choose where run reports go.
  • 5Test with one real planning row and confirm the categories are returned.

Questions about this workflow

Does this create or assign a category?

No. The available action lists categories for a publication. It does not assign them to an issue.

What does Curated need?

Confirm the publication id so the action can retrieve its categories.

Why trigger from a new row?

A new planning row provides a timely cue to retrieve the category options while the content is being planned.
