Action
Start Bulk Job
Tool to start a bulk extract job. use when processing large numbers of urls asynchronously.
Why this helps
Processing a long list of research URLs one page at a time creates unnecessary waiting and context switching.
- Start asynchronous extraction for a large URL batch.
- Keep batch processing tied to an explicit intake event.
- Avoid manually submitting URLs one by one.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Diffbot once in the Notis portal and prepare the URL batch for submission.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Tell Notis to start a Diffbot bulk job when the webhook signals that a URL batch is ready.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with a small real batch and confirm the resulting job is reported.
Questions about this workflow
Does this workflow wait for extraction to finish?
Start Bulk Job starts an asynchronous job. Use a separate follow-up workflow to check job status or retrieve results when appropriate.
Can it process any number of URLs?
Job limits and availability depend on the Diffbot account and plan. Check account details and the applicable service limits.
