Capture competitor website details when you need them
Send a webhook to Notis and have Browse.ai run the right robot, so a useful page snapshot is ready without a manual browser session.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Run Robot
This tool allows you to trigger the execution of a browseai robot on demand. the tool will run a specified robot with the provided parameters and return the task details. it requires a robot id and optional input parameters (such as url, search term, or other parameters) to configure the robot's execution. it is useful for: - starting robot executions programmatically - automating data collection tasks - triggering robots with custom parameters - integrating robot execution in workflows
Why this helps
Checking competitor pages by hand is easy to postpone, especially when the signal arrives in the middle of other work.
- Capture a competitor page when a concrete signal arrives.
- Reduce context switching between a notification and a browser session.
- Review the task report in your chosen Notis report channel.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Ably and Browse.ai once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation named Competitor page scan, then describe the desired result in one plain-language instruction.
- 3Choose a Notis webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 4Send one real webhook example and confirm the Browse.ai robot returns useful page data.
