Real-Time Emerging-Term Spike Alert to Slack
On a daily cadence, detects search terms whose result volume spikes sharply against a rolling baseline and posts an immediate Slack alert so you catch breakout topics within a day.

What it does
This workflow watches your category's search terms daily, compares today's Brave Search result counts against a stored rolling baseline, and fires a Slack alert the moment a term breaks out well above its normal range. It turns slow weekly review into a same-day breakout signal.
When to use it
Use it when timing matters — a competitor launch, a viral feature name, a sudden regulatory term — and a weekly brief would be too late. Ideal for growth, comms, and competitive-intel teams who already live in Slack.
How it works
- 1A daily schedule triggers the sweep.
- 2Brave Search returns current result volume and top snippets for each tracked term.
- 3A logic step computes each term's deviation from its rolling baseline and flags spikes past the threshold.
- 4An OpenAI step writes a one-paragraph context note explaining likely drivers for each spiking term.
- 5A Slack step posts the alert with term, spike magnitude, and the context note to your channel.
