Start a domain crawl from a new planning doc
A new planning document can become a ready-to-review website crawl in seconds.
Trigger
New Document Added
Triggers when a new Google Doc is added/created. This trigger monitors Google Docs and fires when new documents are detected.
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
Domain research gets delayed when crawl setup is treated as a separate task.
- Starts website collection immediately
- Uses the scope in the planning doc
- Creates a repeatable research kickoff
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Docs and Brightdata in Notis once.
- 2Create an automation named New domain crawl.
- 3Tell Notis to read the new document, identify the target domain and crawl scope, and start the Brightdata crawl.
- 4Pick New Document Added as the trigger and choose a report channel.
- 5Test with one real planning document.
Questions about this workflow
What if multiple domains are listed?
Tell Notis to start separate crawl jobs for each clearly identified domain.
