Why this helps
Research requests get buried while browser setup becomes another task to remember.
- Reduce setup time for web research
- Keep each request isolated
- Make incoming work immediately actionable

- 1Connect Outlook and Browserbase in Notis, then open Automations > New Automation.
- 2Describe that each research email should create an isolated Browserbase session with the request context.
- 3Pick New Outlook Message as the trigger.
- 4Choose where run reports should go and test with one real research email.
