Weekly Research Task Automation
Your recurring research jobs run every week on autopilot, so you never forget and data is always current.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Run Task Asynchronously
Tool to run a specific actor task asynchronously. use when you need to trigger a task run without waiting for completion and immediately retrieve its run details.
Why this helps
Weekly research tasks slip your mind or get delayed because triggering them manually each week is easy to forget in a busy week.
- Tasks run on schedule even if you're busy or distracted
- No decision fatigue about when to run them
- Data is always current for weekly reviews
- Team can rely on consistent data delivery

Questions about this workflow
Can I run multiple actors in one automation?
Yes, list them in your prompt like Run the competitor-monitoring task, market-research task, and social-listening task every Tuesday.
What if a task takes longer than expected?
The automation will wait for the task to complete or use async mode so it doesn't block. Specify this in your prompt.
Can I see the results of each weekly run?
Yes, results are stored in Apify datasets and Notis can optionally create a summary Linear issue after each run.
