Find comparable companies from an Ahrefs competitor review
When a competitor lands on your radar, turn the research request into a structured search for companies in the same market.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Search companies with filters
Searches for companies matching selected criteria.
Why this helps
A competitor review often ends with more questions and no quick way to find the other companies worth tracking.
- Start an investigation from an incoming request instead of remembering to revisit it.
- Use Ahrefs site research to inform a Crustdata company search.
- Keep the requested company criteria and search results together in a run report.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Ahrefs and Crustdata once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation from Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to review the submitted competitor domain in Ahrefs, then search Crustdata for companies matching criteria you provide.
- 4Choose a webhook as the trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real competitor domain and review the resulting company search.
Questions about this workflow
Does Ahrefs send the webhook when a competitor changes?
No. Ahrefs has no trigger events in this workflow package. The webhook starts the automation when an HTTP request is sent to its Notis webhook.
What should the request include?
Provide the competitor domain and any market or company criteria you want applied. The automation should report when those criteria are absent.
