Action
Start Crawl Job
Tool to spider a site for links and process them with the extract api into a single collection. use when you have seed urls and want to collect structured data across a site. requires a plus plan for crawl api access.
Why this helps
A promising playlist often points to a whole site, but exploring it manually gets postponed.
- Start source collection immediately
- Explore linked sites systematically
- Create one report for the crawl job
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect YouTube and Diffbot in Notis once.
- 2Create an automation telling Notis to find a public seed URL in each new playlist and start a Diffbot Crawl Job.
- 3Pick New Playlist in YouTube Channel as the trigger.
- 4Choose a report channel and test with one playlist that includes a seed site.
Questions about this workflow
What does the crawl need?
It needs a public seed URL and Diffbot access that supports crawl jobs.
