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.
