Make ongoing web research easier to track
A project change can be a useful moment to check the status of its Diffbot research jobs and surface work that may need a follow-up.
Trigger
Project Properties Updated
Fires when properties on a Linear project change (status, lead, target date, priority, etc.). Covers projects in both public and private teams — polls with the connected user's token.
Action
List Bulk Jobs
Tool to list all bulk jobs associated with a specific token. use after authenticating to retrieve statuses of all jobs for the account.
Why this helps
Asynchronous extraction work can disappear from view while a project moves through planning and delivery.
- Retrieve the account's bulk job statuses at a project update.
- Surface research batches that may still be running.
- Reduce the need to remember a separate status-checking step.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear and Diffbot once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a clear name.
- 3Ask Notis to list Diffbot bulk jobs when a project changes and summarize statuses relevant to the project when identifiable.
- 4Pick the Linear Project Properties Updated trigger, then choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real project update and review the reported job list.
Questions about this workflow
Can this match a bulk job to a specific project automatically?
Only if the available job details or project context provide a reliable way to identify the relationship. Otherwise, the report should show statuses without claiming a match.
Does this stop or change any jobs?
No. This workflow lists job status for review; it does not stop jobs.
