Why this helps
Competitor research can be scattered across reports, making it difficult to recall what changed between reviews.
- Save a concise dated summary in a Backendless Hive map.
- Create a repeatable record for later review.
- Reduce the need to revisit full competitor reports for context.
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 competitors and Ahrefs signals to review, and ask it to save a dated summary in the specified Backendless Hive map.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule and choose where Notis should send run reports.
- 5Test with one real competitor review and confirm the map contains the summary.
Questions about this workflow
What should the Hive map contain?
Choose a map and key convention that fits your review, such as one dated entry per competitor. The instruction should identify the Hive and map.
Can the snapshot show change over time?
It can if earlier snapshots are retained and the selected Ahrefs results support comparison. Otherwise the automation can save a current snapshot without claiming a trend.
