Parse Nutrition Data Without Manual Entry

Food and nutrition startups manually parse recipes to extract calories, macros, and micronutrients. When you create an issue with a recipe or menu item, Notis automatically extracts the nutrition data and posts it as structured information you can use for labeling or marketing.

Trigger

Issue Created Trigger

Triggered when a new issue is created.

Action

Extract Nutrition Information

Tool to extract nutrition information from text query. use when you need to parse food-related text (e.g., recipes, menus) to calculate corresponding nutrition data.

Why this helps

Nutrition calculation is manual and error-prone. Each product requires parsing ingredients and calculating macros by hand.

  • Nutrition data auto-extracted
  • No manual macro calculation
  • Faster product development
  • Accurate labeling data

Setup

  • 1Connect Linear and Api ninjas to Notis.
  • 2Create an automation: 'When a product issue is created containing a recipe or ingredient list, extract the nutrition information (calories, protein, carbs, fats, fiber, etc.) from the text and post it as a structured nutrition summary.'
  • 3Select 'Issue Created' as the trigger.
  • 4Choose a Slack channel for nutrition data notifications.
  • 5Test by creating an issue with a recipe 'Banana oat smoothie: 2 bananas, 1 cup oats, 1 cup milk' and verify nutrition data appears.
