Why this helps

- Capture available authors, dates, and images from linked articles.
- Make shared reading easier to review from the task context.
- Reduce manual browsing when following up on research.

- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to extract available article details from URLs in task comments.
- 4Pick the Asana New Comment on Task trigger and choose a report channel.
- 5Test with a real task comment containing a public article URL.
Questions about this workflow
Will this extract every comment's entire text?
The Diffbot action extracts structured article information from a URL. Ask Notis to use the comment to find the URL and report the extracted details.
What if the URL is not an article?
This action is for article pages. Use Diffbot Analyze when you want Diffbot to determine the page type first.
