Questions about this workflow
What if a comment does not contain a link?
Tell Notis in the instruction to act only when the comment includes a URL. The trigger itself fires for new comments on tasks in a project.
Can Browser tool extract the page text too?
Yes. Add a follow-up instruction to fetch webpage content after the URL is opened.
