Why this helps
Backlink prospecting can turn into a separate round of domain lookups just to gather basic technical context.
- Keep candidate review moving from a submitted domain.
- Gather DNS records alongside Ahrefs prospect context.
- Use one report to decide which domains merit more research.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Ahrefs and Api Ninjas once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name and prompt.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to review the submitted Ahrefs backlink prospect and look up DNS records for its domain.
- 4Pick a webhook as the trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test by sending one real prospect domain in an HTTP request and review the report.
Questions about this workflow
Does Ahrefs send a webhook event for this workflow?
No. Ahrefs has no listed trigger events, so a Notis webhook starts this workflow when you send an HTTP request.
Does a DNS lookup confirm that a site is a good backlink prospect?
No. DNS records provide technical context only. Use Ahrefs and your own review to assess prospect quality.
