Why this helps

- Reduce the chance that useful signals are forgotten
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Piloterr and Needle to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis to check collections when an industry signal arrives.
- 3Use one plain-language instruction to compare the signal topic with Needle collection names and report likely matches.
- 4Choose an incoming webhook trigger and a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one real signal and verify the collection suggestions.
Questions about this workflow
Will it create a new research collection for unmatched signals?
No. The available action lists collections; it does not create one automatically.
Can the incoming signal provide enough context?
Include a concise topic or entity in the webhook request so Notis can make a useful comparison.
