Notis

Explore a neighborhood with one scheduled search

Research a new area in a focused batch, with the cafes, transit, and services you care about surfaced together.

Trigger

Recurring schedule

Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.

Action

Text Search

Searches for places on google maps using a textual query (e.g., "restaurants in london", "eiffel tower").

Why this helps

Open-ended neighborhood research can sprawl across tabs and consume planning time.

  • Turn area research into a bounded scheduled task.
  • Search specific place types in a neighborhood you are considering.
  • Keep the results in a single Notis run summary.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Seam and Google Maps to Notis once through the portal.
  • 2Create a scheduled automation in the portal or ask Notis conversationally.
  • 3Use one instruction to search Google Maps for the specific places you want to assess in your prospective neighborhood.
  • 4Pick a recurring schedule and the channel for run reports.
  • 5Test with one neighborhood and a real search query.

Questions about this workflow

Is Seam needed to identify the neighborhood?

No Seam trigger is available. Provide the neighborhood in your instruction or have an external service send it through a webhook instead.

Can I change the search categories?

Yes. Specify the categories and area in the plain-language prompt.
