Turn competitor research into a design brief your team can use
When a competitor review is needed, send Notis a request to examine Ahrefs findings and create a Canva brief that makes the next response easier to discuss.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create new Canva design
Creates a design from a preset, custom size, existing design, or brand template.
Why this helps
Competitor research can remain scattered in analysis tools instead of becoming a clear artifact for team decisions.
- Create a focused visual brief from a specific competitor research request.
- Keep the evidence and proposed response together for discussion.
- Reduce the effort of turning analysis into a team-ready artifact.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Ahrefs and Canva once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3Tell Notis to review the competitor findings for the request and create a Canva design summarizing evidence and possible response areas.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real Ahrefs example and review the resulting design.
Questions about this workflow
Can Notis identify a competitor's business impact from Ahrefs alone?
Not necessarily. The workflow can summarize returned Ahrefs findings, while business impact or internal context should be provided in your instruction if needed.
What does the webhook contain?
It starts the automation with an HTTP request. Include enough context in your request for Notis to identify the competitor or research task.
