Why this helps

  • Inspect a confirmed root domain from a new submission.
  • Get current and historical technology information in one lookup.
  • Skip submissions that do not contain a valid domain.

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 a confirmed root domain in each new submission and retrieve its current and historical technology profile.
  • 4Pick the New Canvas Assignment Submission trigger and choose where run reports go.
  • 5Test with one real submission that contains a website domain.

Questions about this workflow

What if a submission has no website domain?
