Add useful detail to your visual reference library
Save a public image URL in Notion and have Diffbot retrieve its available dimensions and recognition data.
Trigger
New Page
Triggers when a new page is added to a Notion database.
Action
Diffbot Get Image
Tool to extract detailed information about images, including dimensions and recognition data. use after confirming the image url is publicly accessible.
Why this helps
Visual references lose context when dimensions or recognizable subject details are not recorded.
- Capture image dimensions for visual research.
- Add recognition context when Diffbot can identify image content.
- Keep image reference review attached to the saved item.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Notion and Diffbot to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation with a single instruction for new visual reference pages.
- 3Select the Notion New Page trigger for your visual research database.
- 4Choose a run-report channel and test with one publicly accessible image URL.
- 5Review the extracted dimensions and recognition details.
Questions about this workflow
Can it inspect images behind a login?
The image URL needs to be publicly accessible to Diffbot.
Does this generate image captions?
It extracts available image details and recognition data; results depend on the image and service response.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Notion to Diffbot. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Notion triggers
Diffbot actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Diffbot Search
Tool to search data extracted by crawl or bulk jobs using dql queries. use after data extraction jobs complete to retrieve search results.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Get Diffbot Account Details
Tool to retrieve account details, including plan information and usage statistics. use after authenticating to verify subscription and daily quota status.
All Page Events
Triggers when any Notion page is created or updated across the workspace.
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.
Comment Created
Triggers when a new comment is created in Notion. Optional `page_id` filter scopes to comments on a specific page. When omitted, fires for any new comment in the workspace the integration has access to. Requires the 'Read comments' capability on the Notion integration. If a connection was authorized before that capability was enabled, the user must re-authorize the connection for comment events to flow.
Get Article Data
Tool to extract information from articles, including authors, publication dates, and images. use when you need structured metadata from a web article url.
New Comment
Triggers when a new comment is added to a specified Notion block or page.
Get Discussion Thread
Tool to extract threads of content from forums, comment sections, and review pages. use when you need structured discussion data from web pages after identifying the discussion url.
Database Created
Triggers when a new Notion database (the container) is created. A database is the post-2025-09-03 container that holds one or more data sources. This trigger fires for the container's creation event (`database.created`), distinct from `NOTION_DATASOURCE_CREATED` which fires when a new data source is added to an existing database. Most customers calling Notion's `POST /v1/databases` (the legacy API) or creating a database via the Notion UI will see this event. Adding a new data source to an existing database fires `data_source.created` instead — use `NOTION_DATASOURCE_CREATED` for that. Notion's payload puts `entity.type: "block"` (the container is a `child_database` block in the content tree) and `entity.id` is the database id.
Diffbot Get Event
Tool to extract event details from web pages. use when you need structured event data such as venue, date, and description.
Data Source Created
Triggers when a new Notion data source is created. Fires workspace-wide. The payload's `data.parent` carries the data source's tree parent (typically the teamspace) for downstream filtering. A single template-based database creation can fire multiple `data_source.created` events at once — one per data source the template instantiates.
Diffbot Get Image
Tool to extract detailed information about images, including dimensions and recognition data. use after confirming the image url is publicly accessible.
Data Source Schema Updated
Triggers when a Notion data source's schema is updated. Fires on column add / remove / rename. Payload includes `data.updated_properties: [{id, name, action}]` so consumers can discriminate the kind of change downstream. Optional `data_source_id` filter scopes to schema changes on a single data source. When omitted, fires for any schema change in the workspace the integration has access to. Note: adding a column also fires `page.properties_updated` once per existing row in the data source. Customers wanting a single structural-change signal should use this trigger.
Diffbot Get Product
Tool to extract product information such as specifications, prices, availability, and reviews. use when you need structured product data including specs, pricing, and reviews.
