Your First Workflow: Open Site & Extract Data

Let’s jump right in and build your first automation with Jsonify! This simple workflow will open a specific webpage and extract its title. This demonstrates the core “Open -> Extract” pattern fundamental to many automations.

​

Steps

​

1. Create a New Workflow

• Navigate to your Jsonify Dashboard.
• Click the button sequence to create a new workflow: Create an empty workflow ➙ Extract.
• Notice that the created workflow already contains the necessary blocks (Open Websites and Extract Data) for this first example.

​

2. Configure the Open Websites Block

• The starting point for this workflow is the Open Websites block, which is already on the canvas.
• Select the Open Websites block to configure it.
• In the URL input field, enter the website you want the AI Agent to visit. Let’s use a simple, stable example: https://example.com
• Ensure the toggle switch next to the URL is ON.

​

3. Configure the Extract Data Block

• Next, we need to tell the agent what to extract. The Extract Data block is already placed after the Open Websites block on the canvas.
• Select the Extract Data block to configure it.
• We want a single piece of data (the title) for this example, so ensure “A single item” is selected.
• Define the data point you want:
  • In the first column, labeled NAME, type title.
  • In the second column, labeled EXAMPLE VALUE OR A LONGER DESCRIPTION, describe what the AI should extract: Extract the main title of the webpage.
• (Optional) You could add further clarification in the “Add additional instructions” field below, like: Extract only the text content of the main page title.

​

4. Run Your Workflow!

• That’s it! Your simple workflow is configured and ready to run.
• Find and click the Run button (located at the top right of the editor).
• Jsonify will assign an AI Agent to open example.com and extract its title based on your instructions.

​

5. Check the Results

• When you manually run the workflow, the editor will automatically redirect you to the page for the current run.
• On this page, results will appear as the AI agent works.
• Once the workflow finishes (it should be very quick for this example), click on “View as sheet”. You should see the extracted data presented in a table, with columns named title containing the text “Example Domain” and url containing the link to the page where the data was extracted..

Congratulations! You’ve successfully configured and run your first Jsonify workflow using a template. This demonstrates the basic process of navigating to a page and extracting specific information. You can now build upon this foundation to tackle more complex tasks.
