Trigger

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create or Update Custom API

Why this helps
Standard extraction may not fit a site with a unique page structure, leaving repeated manual parsing work.
- Create or update site-specific extraction rules.
- Describe desired extraction in plain language.
- Reduce repeated manual parsing for a tailored site.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect AnyDB and Diffbot once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis in plain language from any channel.
- 3Ask Notis to create or update rules for a specified URL pattern and the fields you need.
- 4Choose a webhook trigger and submit the site pattern and extraction request.
- 5Choose where run reports go, then test with one real example page.
Questions about this workflow
Can the workflow invent selectors without a real example?
Provide a representative page and desired fields; the rules should be reviewed against actual site structure.
Will this modify an existing Custom API?
The action creates or updates Custom API parameters and rulesets, so specify the intended URL pattern clearly.
