Action
Scrape webpage content using CSS selectors
A tool to extract structured content from a webpage by specifying css selectors. the tool navigates to the specified url, waits for the page to load (including parsing and executing javascript), and returns the selected elements in a structured json format.
Why this helps
Web links buried in file comments are easy to miss, and opening each one adds another context switch.
- Capture selected webpage content when a new comment includes a URL.
- Return structured content for quick review.
- Reduce manual link opening and note taking.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Box and Browserless once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, then choose a name and report channel.
- 3Tell Notis to extract the requested page sections when a new Box file comment contains a public URL.
- 4Pick the Box New File Comment Added trigger for the file you want to monitor.
- 5Choose where run reports go, then test with one real comment containing a URL.
Questions about this workflow
What happens if the comment has no webpage URL?
Tell Notis in your instruction to skip comments without a public webpage URL and report that no usable link was found.
Can this extract details from pages that require a login?
This workflow is for publicly accessible pages. The available Browserless action scrapes page content, but the event details do not establish that a private login session is available.
