Build a dated register of periodic webpage snapshots
Capture selected pages on a recurring schedule and keep a clear record of when each PDF was made.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Batch update spreadsheet
Updates a specified range in a google sheet with given values, or appends them as new rows if `first cell location` is omitted; ensure the target sheet exists and the spreadsheet contains at least one worksheet.
Why this helps
When pages are only captured manually, important changes between check-ins can go undocumented.
- Create repeatable snapshots for selected URLs.
- Keep each run date beside the returned PDF link.
- Review a history of captures from one Sheet.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Api2pdf and Google Sheets once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis from any channel what outcome you want.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to convert the supplied URLs and append each URL, run date, and returned PDF link to the snapshot register.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real URL and confirm each capture adds a distinct record.
Questions about this workflow
Does the Sheet compare page versions?
This workflow records snapshots and dates. A comparison requires suitable PDF or page content to be available to Notis and a comparison instruction.
Can I use URLs that change over time?
Yes, if they are reachable by Api2pdf at the scheduled run. The PDF reflects the page returned at that time.
How do I avoid losing older snapshots?
Ask Notis to append each run as a new record in the register, and verify this behavior with a test conversion.
