Questions about this workflow
What information goes into the note?
Notis can use the details returned with the activity event. If a detail is not included, it cannot be recorded unless you supply it in the instruction.
Will this create a new file for every activity?
The instruction can ask Notis to create a separate dated note for each detected activity.
