Check Mail Servers for Ahrefs Research Domains

Get mail server details for a prepared domain list as part of a regular research review.

Trigger

Recurring schedule

Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.

Action

Find Domain MX Records

Retrieves a domain's mail server records.

Why this helps

When domain infrastructure context matters, looking up MX records one domain at a time adds repetitive work to research.

  • Retrieve MX records in priority order for supplied domains.
  • Keep infrastructure context grouped in a scheduled report.
  • Reduce repeated manual domain lookups.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Ahrefs and Clearout once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation and instruct Notis to retrieve MX records in priority order through Clearout for domains from my Ahrefs research, then summarize the results.
  • 3Choose a recurring Notis schedule and include the domain list or its source context in the instruction.
  • 4Choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real domain and confirm the returned MX record order.

Questions about this workflow

Does this workflow test email deliverability?

No. It retrieves MX records for a domain. Use Clearout email verification actions when you need to validate email addresses.

Where do the domains come from?

Provide the domains or source context from your Ahrefs research in the automation instruction. Ahrefs does not provide an event trigger here.
