Why this helps
Submitting many research URLs one at a time creates repetitive work and makes large research requests harder to start.
- Start processing a batch of URLs with one webhook request.
- Use Diffbot's asynchronous bulk job for larger URL lists.
- Keep recurring or external research intake simple.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Diffbot once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Tell Notis to start a Diffbot bulk extraction job using the URLs supplied with each request.
- 4Pick a Notis webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test by sending one real request containing a small batch of accessible URLs.
Questions about this workflow
When should I use a bulk job?
Use it when you need to process a large number of URLs asynchronously instead of submitting each URL as a separate request.
Does this return all extracted results immediately?
No. Starting a bulk job initiates asynchronous processing. Use Diffbot's search action after extraction jobs complete to retrieve search results.
