Trigger

Why this helps
Competitor research is hard to use when it sits in a separate tool from the decision conversation.
- Tie competitor research to a specific decision question.
- Share findings in the channel where the decision is discussed.
- Reduce manual report copying.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Ahrefs and Ably once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation and name it Competitor Review on Request.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to review the competitors and question supplied with the webhook request, then publish a concise evidence-based summary to Ably.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real competitor question.
Questions about this workflow
Can I provide the competitors in the request?
Yes. Include the competitors and the decision question in the webhook request. The review is limited to relevant Ahrefs data available to Notis.
Will it infer a change if there is no baseline?
It should not. Supply a prior baseline or ask for a current-state summary when historical comparison data is unavailable.
