Why this helps

- Surface prior research at the moment of interest
- Avoid duplicate channel notes
- Make shared knowledge easier to reuse

- 3Tell Notis to search the Airtable channel research table for records matching each newly subscribed channel and report any existing notes.
- 4Choose New YouTube Channel Subscription as the trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with a real subscription whose channel already has a record in Airtable.
