Questions about this workflow
Can the automation compare changes over time?
It can use history available through Ahrefs. If the required baseline is not returned, provide the baseline or comparison window in your instruction.
Will every ranking change start a pipeline?
Only if your instruction asks for that. You can describe criteria for changes that warrant a run.
