Notis

Capture the competitor page behind an Ahrefs finding

Send a competitor research request and keep a visual snapshot of the public page Notis identifies for review.

Trigger

Webhook received

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.

Action

Convert URL to Image

Converts a webpage into an image.

Why this helps

Competitive research often separates search findings from the page experience that explains them.

  • Pair an Ahrefs research request with a visual page reference.
  • Keep a shareable snapshot alongside competitor notes.
  • Reduce manual switching between research and browser capture.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Ahrefs and Cloudlayer once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis what you want from any channel.
  • 3In one instruction, ask Notis to review the supplied competitor question using available Ahrefs data, identify a relevant public URL, and capture that page as an image.
  • 4Pick a webhook as the trigger and choose where run reports go.
  • 5Test with one real competitor request and verify the captured page is the intended URL.

Questions about this workflow

Does the workflow know which page to capture?

The instruction should define how Notis selects a relevant URL from the research or request. Provide a URL directly if selection criteria are unclear.

Can it capture pages that require a login?

The URL image action is intended for webpages reachable by the rendering service. Do not assume it can access authenticated pages.
