Action

Free API Lookup

Tool to access last updated dates and counts for technology groups and categories for websites. use when you need a snapshot of technology usage timing for a domain.

Why this helps

By the time work is reviewed, it can be difficult to remember which domains were worth a closer look and how recent their technology data is.

  • Run a BuiltWith snapshot after a grading event.
  • See technology group and category counts with their last updated dates.
  • Avoid implying that a snapshot is a full tech stack report.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Canvas and BuiltWith once in Notis.
  • 2Create an automation and give it a name.
  • 3Tell Notis to find the confirmed root domain in the graded submission and retrieve its technology group counts and last updated dates.
  • 4Pick the Canvas Assignment Graded trigger and choose where run reports go.
  • 5Test with one real graded submission containing a website domain.

Does this provide a full technology history?
