Tailor extraction for a hard-to-parse prospect site
When a prospect site needs special parsing, ask Notis to define a Diffbot Custom API around the specific pages and information you need.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create or Update Custom API
Creates or updates a Custom API with tailored website extraction rules.
Why this helps
Repeatedly inspecting a site that standard extraction misses can stall research and create inconsistent notes.
- Define extraction behavior for a specific URL pattern.
- Capture page details that standard APIs may miss.
- Reuse tailored rules for consistent site research.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Aeroleads and Diffbot once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis the outcome from any channel.
- 3In one instruction, describe the target URL pattern and the content to extract, then ask Notis to create or update a Diffbot Custom API.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test the rules against one real page and review the extracted fields.
Questions about this workflow
When should I use a Custom API?
Use it when a specific website needs tailored parsing beyond standard Diffbot APIs. Supply the page pattern and extraction rules you want.
Can custom rules guarantee successful extraction?
No. Test the rules on a real page and refine them based on the returned content.
