Collect reference material when a research event is created
Turn a new research block into a site crawl, so gathering source material can start without a separate kickoff task.
Trigger
Event Created
Polling trigger that fires when a new calendar event is created. Returns event ID, summary, start/end times, and organizer info.
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
Research blocks are easy to schedule and just as easy to leave empty when no one starts gathering material.
- Starts a multi-page crawl when a new event is created.
- Uses the URLs or domains specified in your instruction.
- Helps begin research as soon as the calendar block exists.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Calendar and Brightdata once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it for the research task.
- 3In one instruction, tell Notis which new events matter and which URLs or domains to crawl with Brightdata.
- 4Pick Event Created as the trigger.
- 5Choose a report channel and test with one real research event.
Questions about this workflow
Does the event need to contain the URLs?
The crawl needs URLs. Supply them in your instruction or event context that Notis can access; do not assume Notis will infer missing sources.
Does this download the crawl results too?
This workflow starts the crawl job. Checking its status and downloading data are separate Brightdata actions.
