Action

Why this helps
Large URL research batches take effort to start and track, and can be easy to separate from the task that requested them.
- Start asynchronous extraction for a batch of URLs from a Jira request.
- Keep the bulk research job associated with its originating issue.
- Reduce manual setup for large research batches.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Jira and Diffbot once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis from any channel.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to start a Diffbot bulk job for the public URLs listed in new Jira issues and include the job details in the run report.
- 4Pick Jira's New Issue trigger for the project you configure, then choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real issue containing a small list of public URLs.
Questions about this workflow
When should I use a bulk job?
Use it when a Jira research request contains multiple URLs that should be processed asynchronously.
Does this workflow also retrieve finished search results?
No. It starts a bulk job. Diffbot Search is a separate action intended to retrieve results after extraction jobs complete.
