Why this helps
Early competitor analysis can be mistaken for approved guidance when drafts circulate without an obvious status label.
- Apply a text watermark such as DRAFT or CONFIDENTIAL to a PDF.
- Prepare research documents for review with less manual handling.
- Use Ahrefs findings as the context for the document workflow.

- 1Connect Ahrefs and Craftmypdf once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis from any channel.
- 3Describe how to prepare the competitor research PDF and which watermark text to apply.
- 4Pick the Notis webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real competitor research PDF and verify the watermark.
