Get page content when a site blocks automated access

Send a URL for a page you need to review and let Notis organize the returned content into a useful summary.

Trigger

Webhook received

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

Action

Web Unlocker

Tool to bypass bot detection, captcha, and other anti-scraping measures to extract content from websites. use when you need to scrape websites that block automated access or require javascript rendering.

Why this helps

A blocked page can interrupt research and force a manual detour through repeated access attempts.

  • Submit a specific URL for page extraction.
  • Ask Notis to summarize the returned content for your stated purpose.
  • Keep the extraction request and its report together.

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 retrieve the supplied page with Web Unlocker and summarize its returned content for your purpose.
  • 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one page you are authorized to access.

Questions about this workflow

What should I send to start it?
