Launch batch extraction from one research task
Collect a URL batch in Google Tasks and start one asynchronous Diffbot bulk job.
Trigger
New Task Created
Triggers when a new task is created in a Google Tasks list. Uses timestamp filtering (updatedMin) to efficiently detect new tasks.
Action
Start Bulk Job
Tool to start a bulk extract job. use when processing large numbers of urls asynchronously.
Why this helps
Submitting many URLs one by one creates busywork and makes large research batches easy to abandon.
- Submit many URLs together
- Keep batch intent documented in the task
- Free yourself from repetitive uploads
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Tasks and Diffbot in Notis once.
- 2Create an automation named Start Bulk Research.
- 3Tell Notis to read the public URL batch in each new task and start a Diffbot bulk job with the requested extraction goal.
- 4Pick New Task Created as the trigger.
- 5Choose a report channel, then test with a small batch of URLs.
Questions about this workflow
How should URLs be supplied?
Put the public URLs in the task notes or another location you specify in the automation prompt.
Will the result be immediate?
Bulk jobs run asynchronously, so the automation should report the job identifier and next status check.
