Product research requests sit in email until someone manually turns them into a repeatable search.

- Reduce inbox follow-up

- 4Choose New Outlook Message as the trigger and select a report channel.
- 5Test with one real product research email.
Questions about this workflow
Can Notis understand an unstructured request?
Yes. Ask it to interpret the message and use the available details, while flagging missing criteria.
Does this start the collection automatically?
The automation creates the collection. Ask it to start the collection too when the request is complete.
