Turn survey responses into findings you can reuse
When survey responses are ready, have Notis distill the key pattern into a Dovetail insight instead of leaving it in a response export.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create Insight
Tool to create a new insight in dovetail. use after synthesizing findings when ready to store them. example: "create insight 'q1 user trends' with body '...' for project 'proj 123'."
Why this helps
Survey results can pile up in exports that take too much time to review and turn into a decision-ready finding.
- Reduce the work of summarizing survey results
- Preserve response patterns as insights
- Make findings easier to discuss and reuse
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear and Dovetail to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal and select an incoming webhook trigger.
- 3Give Notis one plain-language instruction to synthesize the survey responses received and create a Dovetail insight with the main supported finding.
- 4Choose a channel for run reports and connect the survey system to the webhook URL.
- 5Test with one real completed survey event and review the insight for accuracy.
Questions about this workflow
Will every survey response create a separate insight?
Ask Notis to synthesize the response set into a finding rather than creating an insight for each response.
Can this handle incomplete survey payloads?
Tell Notis to skip insight creation and report when the received information is insufficient.
