Put a performance problem in context
A slowdown may be technical, seasonal, or part of a wider event. Get the context without opening ten tabs.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Search for news articles
Searches google news (via serpapi, using the `tbm=nws` parameter) for articles matching a query; precise queries yield best results.
Why this helps
A founder can spend hours investigating an isolated metric without noticing a market event affecting traffic or infrastructure.
- Spot external causes faster
- Focus technical investigation on likely factors
- Keep incident notes grounded in current events
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Pingdom and Serpapi to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create the automation in the portal or ask Notis in plain language.
- 3Use one instruction: when a scheduled Pingdom performance review shows a material regression, search Google News for the product, industry, hosting, and relevant incident terms, then summarize likely context.
- 4Choose a recurring trigger and a channel for run reports.
- 5Run one test with a known slowdown or sample condition.
Questions about this workflow
How does Notis know a regression occurred?
Your instruction can tell Notis which Pingdom report pattern or threshold should count as material.
Will it replace root-cause analysis?
No. It adds current external context to help you begin the investigation with fewer blind spots.
