Refresh URL analysis when a tracked row changes
Keep analysis in step with a specific research record as it changes.
Trigger
Spreadsheet Row Changed
Triggers when a looked-up spreadsheet row changes. This trigger monitors a specific row (located by searching for a query value within a user-specified range) and fires when the row's values change, when the row appears, or when the row disappears.
Action
Diffbot Analyze
Tool to automatically determine a page's content type and route it to the appropriate extraction api. use when you have only a url and need diffbot to choose the right extractor.
Why this helps
A key research row can change over time, leaving the page classification out of date.
- Recheck page type when a tracked row changes
- Keep analysis aligned with a specific record
- Spot when a row appears or disappears through run reports
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Sheets and Diffbot once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal, or tell Notis in plain language from any channel.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to analyze the current URL from the looked-up row when one is available and report the page type.
- 4Pick the Spreadsheet Row Changed trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real row that appears or changes and contains a public URL.
Questions about this workflow
What changes can start this workflow?
The trigger monitors a row found by searching for a query value and fires when the row changes, appears, or disappears.
What happens when the row disappears?
There may be no current URL to analyze. Notis can report the row status; it should only analyze a URL when one is available.
