Understand a source before deciding how to extract it
Send an unfamiliar link for automatic page-type analysis and get a clearer starting point for research.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
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.
Why this helps
Unfamiliar links often interrupt content prep while you decide whether the page is an article, product, or another type of source.
- Use one URL analysis action when the page type is unknown.
- Get a sensible starting point for a follow-up extraction.
- Spend less time guessing which source review is appropriate.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect OnlySocial and Diffbot to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis to analyze URLs received by webhook.
- 3Describe in one plain-language instruction how to report the detected page type and useful next step.
- 4Choose an incoming webhook trigger and a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with a real public URL whose page type is unfamiliar.
