Track the size of your backlink review queue
Pair a scheduled backlink review with a directory count to understand the size of the record set your team already has.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Get File Count
Count files in a directory.
Why this helps
Teams can lose track of how much prospect review is already sitting in a storage location.
- Get a count for a specified Backendless directory.
- Put the count in context with a scheduled Ahrefs review.
- Make queue size easier to track without manually browsing files.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Ahrefs and Backendless once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3Tell Notis which site to review in Ahrefs and the exact Backendless directory and count options to use.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule and choose where Notis should send run reports.
- 5Test with one real run and confirm the count matches the intended directory.
Questions about this workflow
Does the count show which prospects are duplicates?
No. The action returns a file count. It does not identify or deduplicate individual records.
What directory should I specify?
Use the exact Backendless file storage directory path and state whether subdirectories should be included, if that option is available.
