Crawl research sources from Asana
Move a task into your research section and let the supplied source URLs start a crawl.
Trigger
Task Moved to Section
Triggers when a task is moved to a section in a project.
Action
Trigger Site Crawl
Tool to trigger a site crawl job to extract content across multiple pages or entire domains. use when you need to start a crawl for a given dataset and list of urls.
Why this helps
Research sources often sit in a task while someone still has to remember to launch the collection step.
- Launch collection at a clear point in the task workflow.
- Crawl multiple supplied source URLs in one job.
- Keep the crawl request tied to its Asana task.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Asana and Bright Data once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis in plain language.
- 3Describe how to start a Bright Data crawl using URLs supplied in the task.
- 4Choose Asana Task Moved to Section as the trigger and select a run report destination.
- 5Test by moving one real task with source URLs into the research section.
Questions about this workflow
Where should the URLs be provided?
Include the URLs to crawl in the Asana task description or its relevant discussion before moving the task into the chosen section.
Does this download the crawl results too?
This automation starts a crawl job. Checking its status and downloading data are separate Bright Data actions.
