Turn list pages into a research shortlist

Extract the items from a directory, news index, or product listing page and ask Notis to summarize what is worth a closer look.

Trigger

Webhook received

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

Action

Diffbot Extract List

Extracts structured items from a list or index page.

Why this helps

Scanning long index pages item by item creates busywork before the actual research can begin.

  • Extract multiple listed items from one page.
  • Create a readable shortlist from an index.
  • Start deeper research with less manual scanning.

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 extract listed items and summarize titles, links, and descriptions that are present.
  • 4Choose a webhook trigger and submit a list page URL.
  • 5Choose where run reports go, then test with one real index page.

Questions about this workflow

Which pages are suitable?

The action targets list-style pages such as news indexes, product listings, and directories.

Does it crawl each linked page?

No. This action extracts items from the submitted page; separate extraction would be needed for linked pages.
