Get a scheduled brief from an IoT research article
Set aside a small research window: Notis can ask Diffbot to extract the article metadata and content details from a URL you choose, then deliver a concise brief.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Get Article Data
Extracts structured information such as authors and publication dates from an article.
Why this helps
Useful technical articles get saved for later, then disappear under device alerts and day-to-day founder work.
- Turn one supplied article URL into a structured research brief.
- Keep recurring research in a scheduled run report.
- Capture author and publication details when available from the page.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Adafruit IO and Diffbot once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3In one instruction, tell Notis to use Diffbot Get Article Data on the article URL you provide and summarize the returned details for your project.
- 4Pick a recurring Notis schedule and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real article URL.
Questions about this workflow
Does this workflow search for articles automatically?
No. It extracts article information from a URL you provide. Diffbot Get Article Data is an article extraction action, not a web search action.
What does Adafruit IO contribute to the scheduled run?
Adafruit IO is the source app in this workflow package, but it exposes no trigger events here. The run starts on a Notis schedule, and the article URL and project context must be supplied in the instruction.
