Trigger

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
Reference material spread across a site can take too long to review page by page.
- Start a multi-page crawl from public URLs found in course upload context.
- Collect related site content for later review.
- Reduce repetitive visits across reference pages.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Canvas and Bright Data once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation for crawling course references.
- 3Tell Notis to identify public website URLs in new course uploads and start a crawl for those URLs when present.
- 4Pick New Canvas File Upload as the trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real upload that references a public site.
Questions about this workflow
Will it crawl every uploaded file?
The prompt can ask Notis to start a crawl only when the upload context contains public website URLs.
Does the crawl return its results immediately?
A crawl starts a job. The results may require checking the job status and downloading the data after processing finishes.
