Build a product research database with custom workflows
Product research databases fail the same way. They start structured, then degrade into a list of URLs with vague titles that nobody updates. The problem is always the same: capturing was too manual to sustain.
Filed's Visual Workflow Builder lets you define the structure once. After that, every save fills in the right fields automatically.
The Visual Workflow Builder
Open Filed settings, go to Workflows, create a new one. Choose a destination database in Notion. Then map: any element on any page to any Notion property, using a point-and-click selector. No code.
An example: tracking competitor pricing
Visit a competitor's pricing page. Open the Workflow Builder. Point at the product name: map it to Title. Point at the price: map it to a custom Price property. Point at the plan description: map it to Notes. Set a domain rule so every save from that domain runs this workflow.
What a custom workflow does on each save
- Extracts exactly the fields you defined
- Routes to the Notion database you chose
- Runs automatically via domain rule (Pro)
- Works across multiple Notion workspaces (Pro)
This isn't a capture problem. It's a structure problem. The Workflow Builder is where you solve it once.
When the four built-in workflows aren't enough
The premade workflows (Links, Articles, People, Media) cover most saves. The Workflow Builder is for structured data that doesn't fit those patterns: competitor intelligence, job listings, portfolio tracking, user research sources.
You define the structure once. Every subsequent save is one keystroke.
The Visual Workflow Builder is a Pro feature. Try it for 14 days.
