Ways Notis can move work from Piloterr to Needle
Keep web research collections easy to find
When a Piloterr research run sends its results to Notis, check Needle's collections so you can quickly see whether a research home already exists.
Review research library health weekly
On a weekly schedule, check Needle collection statistics so you can spot libraries that may need attention without opening each one manually.
Check the competitor research library
When a Piloterr competitor-monitoring run completes, list files in the relevant Needle collection to keep the existing research context visible.
Get a monthly map of Needle collections
Once a month, list Needle collections and receive a compact map of the knowledge spaces available for ongoing Piloterr research.
Find a home for each market scan
After a Piloterr market scan arrives by webhook, check available Needle collections and report the likely research home for the scan.
Review source libraries each quarter
On a quarterly schedule, list files in a selected Needle collection and surface the source library contents alongside your Piloterr research routine.
Check library stats after website changes
When a Piloterr website-change alert reaches Notis, retrieve stats for the related Needle collection to add a quick context check to the alert.
Spot quiet research collections
Check collection timestamps monthly so research libraries that have gone quiet are visible without a manual audit.
Match new source topics to existing collections
When a Piloterr extraction request completes, check Needle collections for a likely existing topic home before starting a new research space.

Four ways to start an automation.
A trigger is the event that kicks a workflow off. Notis supports four kinds: an event in a connected app, an inbound webhook, a recurring schedule, and soon, your own database.
Integration triggers
Fire when something happens inside a connected app. New Notion page, Stripe charge, Linear issue: any of 1,000+ apps can start a workflow.
Webhook triggers
A unique URL per workflow. Anything that can send an HTTP POST can start an automation, including no-code tools that speak webhooks.
Recurring triggers
Cron-style schedules run a workflow on the clock. Daily standups, hourly syncs, business-hours-only digests: the workhorse of Notis.
Database triggers
Watch a row, query, or threshold in your own database and fire the moment the data changes. Row inserted, value crosses a limit, query starts matching.
Classic automation breaks. AI adapts.
Same triggers and actions, smarter middle. AI handles the fuzziness that breaks traditional Zapier-style workflows the moment a field gets renamed.
Describe it. Notis builds it.
Skip the visual builder. Tell Notis what you want, in plain English. It writes the workflow, you review and deploy.
