Notis

Make sense of an unfamiliar web page

Pass Notis a URL and let Diffbot work out what kind of page it is before extracting its content.

Trigger

Webhook received

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

Action

Diffbot Analyze

Analyzes a web page, identifies its type, and extracts structured data.

Why this helps

Research slows down when every new page needs a different manual inspection process.

  • Handle pages without choosing an extractor in advance.
  • Get structured results from a single URL.
  • Keep the source and extraction report together.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect ActiveTrail and Diffbot once in Notis.
  • 2Create an automation named Analyze a Web Page.
  • 3Tell Notis to send the supplied URL to Diffbot Analyze and summarize the detected page type and extracted details.
  • 4Choose the webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real page URL.

Questions about this workflow

Does this require knowing the page type first?

No. Diffbot Analyze is intended to determine the content type and route the page to an appropriate extraction API.

What should the webhook include?

Include the URL of the page you want Diffbot to analyze.
