Automate Your Web Scraping and Data Management with n8n
detail.loadingPreview
Streamline your workflow by automatically extracting data from websites and organizing it directly into Notion. This n8n workflow captures web content, processes it, and adds valuable information to your Notion database, saving you manual effort.
About This Workflow
This n8n workflow is designed to automate the process of capturing and managing web-based data. It begins by listening for incoming data via a webhook, typically triggered by an external event. Upon receiving data, it intelligently checks a 'type' parameter. If the type is not as expected, it proceeds to make an HTTP request to a dynamic URL extracted from the incoming data. The content from this URL is then parsed to extract the page title. Finally, this extracted title and the original URL are elegantly added as a new entry to a specified Notion database, with a confirmation message sent back. This creates a seamless pipeline for enriching your Notion workspace with relevant web information.
Key Features
- Dynamic Web Scraping: Fetches content from URLs determined by your incoming data.
- Intelligent Data Routing: Uses conditional logic to decide the workflow's next steps based on data type.
- Automated Title Extraction: Efficiently pulls the
<title>tag from web pages. - Seamless Notion Integration: Directly adds scraped data as new pages in your Notion database.
- Webhook Triggered Automation: Initiates the workflow automatically upon receiving external requests.
How To Use
- Configure the Webhook Node: Set up your desired HTTP method (POST) and path for receiving incoming data.
- Set up the HTTP Request Node: Ensure the URL parameter correctly references the dynamic URL from your incoming webhook data. For example:
https://{{$json["body"]["data"]["options"][0]["value"]}}. - Define the 'Check type' Logic: Adjust the 'value1' in the 'notEqual' condition to match the expected 'type' value that should trigger the HTTP request.
- Configure the HTML Extract Node: Specify the CSS selector for the element you want to extract. The example uses
titleto get the page title. - Set up the Add Link to Notion Node: Provide your Notion API credentials and the correct
databaseId. Map the extracted title and the original URL to the appropriate properties in your Notion database. - Configure the Reply on Discord Node (Optional): Customize the message and type to send a notification upon successful data addition.
