Process a large URL list as a bulk job
Hand off a large set of research URLs to an asynchronous Diffbot job and keep its originating context close at hand.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Start Bulk Job
Starts a bulk extraction job to process many URLs asynchronously.
Why this helps
Submitting many pages one at a time creates avoidable busywork and makes long research batches harder to track.
- Starts an asynchronous extraction for a large URL list.
- Avoids submitting each URL as a separate manual task.
- Keeps the request context with the job-start report.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Abstract and Diffbot once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to start a bulk job for the submitted URLs and retain the supplied context.
- 4Choose a webhook trigger and where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real batch of URLs and confirm the job-start result.
Questions about this workflow
When should I use a bulk job?
Use Start Bulk Job when processing large numbers of URLs asynchronously.
Does this workflow return completed extraction results immediately?
