Reassess research pages when your Airtable schema changes
A schema change can signal a new research shape. Have Diffbot identify what kind of pages your current URLs contain.
Trigger
Base Schema Changed
Triggers when tables, fields, or views change in an Airtable base.
Action
Diffbot Analyze
Tool to automatically determine a page's content type and route it to the appropriate extraction api. use when you have only a url and need diffbot to choose the right extractor.
Why this helps
A new Airtable field or table can leave a research process out of step with the pages it depends on.
- Notice when the base structure changes
- Classify supplied URLs before choosing an extractor
- Give the team a reviewable signal instead of silently assuming page types
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Airtable and Diffbot once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it for the research base.
- 3Tell Notis which research URLs to analyze when the base schema changes, and ask for a summary of detected content types.
- 4Pick the Airtable Base Schema Changed trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real schema change and representative URLs.
Questions about this workflow
Will Diffbot Analyze find URLs in Airtable automatically?
The workflow needs the URLs or their source to be available to Notis. State where to get them in your instruction; do not assume the schema-change event supplies them.
Does analysis extract all page details?
Diffbot Analyze determines a page's content type and routes it to an appropriate extraction API. Use a specific extraction action when you already know the data type you need.
