Handle Large Ahrefs Backlink Exports Without a Client Timeout
Use asynchronous conversion when a backlink export is large or takes too long for a standard request.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Async Convert
Starts an asynchronous file conversion.
Why this helps
Large exports can outlast a client request and interrupt a backlink review workflow.
- Use an asynchronous job for large or long-running conversions.
- Reduce the chance that a client timeout interrupts processing.
- Start processing when a backlink export is submitted.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Ahrefs and ConvertAPI once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it for large backlink exports.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to use the submitted Ahrefs backlink export and convert it asynchronously to the requested supported format.
- 4Pick a webhook as the trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real large export and confirm the asynchronous job is created.
