Action

Why this helps
Small company changes are hard to spot when competitor research and historical workforce data live in separate workflows.
- Review historical headcount for a clear competitor set.
- Keep workforce changes in the context of market research.
- Get a consistent report that calls out missing time periods or companies.
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 use the competitor companies in your specified Ahrefs research and retrieve Crustdata headcount timeseries, noting missing coverage.
- 4Choose a recurring schedule as the trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real competitor and review the returned historical data.
Questions about this workflow
How is this different from a single headcount snapshot?
This action retrieves timeseries data, so the workflow can review reported headcount over time where the data is available.
Does a headcount increase prove a company is growing?
It is one data point for workforce change, not a complete measure of business growth. Treat conclusions as limited to the returned history.
