Start a crawl across your product documentation

Send the documentation pages or domain you want covered and start a crawl without setting up a separate research session.

Trigger

Webhook received

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.

Action

Trigger Site Crawl

Tool to trigger a site crawl job to extract content across multiple pages or entire domains. use when you need to start a crawl for a given dataset and list of urls.

Why this helps

Reviewing documentation page by page takes attention away from product work and makes coverage harder to track.

  • Start a crawl for a supplied list of URLs or domain.
  • Collect content across multiple pages for later review.
  • Use a crawl report to keep the job status and results in view.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Ably and Brightdata once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
  • 3Tell Notis to start a crawl for the supplied documentation URLs and report the crawl details.
  • 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with a small set of real documentation URLs.
