Know the right next step for a shared link

Let Diffbot identify what a comment link contains before you decide how to review it.

Trigger

New Comment on Task

Triggers when a comment is added to a task in a project.

Action

Diffbot Analyze

Tool to automatically determine a page's content type and route it to the appropriate extraction api. use when you have only a url and need diffbot to choose the right extractor.

Why this helps

A bare URL in a discussion leaves you guessing whether it needs an article, product, or discussion review.

  • Identify a URL's likely content type before deeper review.
  • Help choose the relevant follow-up extraction action.
  • Keep link triage attached to the discussion where it appeared.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Asana and Diffbot once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
  • 3Tell Notis to analyze URLs in task comments and report the detected page type.
  • 4Select the Asana New Comment on Task trigger and choose a report channel.
  • 5Test with one comment containing a public URL of an unfamiliar page type.

Questions about this workflow

Does this also extract full article or product data?

Diffbot Analyze identifies the content type and routes to an appropriate extractor. Ask for a specific data set if you need a dedicated extraction workflow.

What if a comment has no URL?

Ask Notis to report that no URL was present and skip analysis for that run.
