Crawl websites referenced in new Box research files
Drop research files into Box and have Notis start a Brightdata crawl of the websites they reference.
Trigger
New File Added to Folder
Triggers when a new file is added to a folder in Box. This trigger monitors a specific Box folder and fires when new files are detected. Only files (not folders or web links) are monitored.
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
Copying URLs from research files into crawl jobs creates busywork and delays analysis.
- Start site crawls as soon as research files arrive.
- Reduce copying and pasting URLs between tools.
- Keep research intake moving without a manual handoff.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Box and Brightdata once in the Notis portal.

- 3In one instruction, tell Notis to find website URLs in each new file and start a Brightdata crawl for them.
- 4Choose the Box New File Added to Folder trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real file containing website URLs.
