Put priority pages under proactive API checks
Move from discovering an important page in Ahrefs to checking its endpoint in Datadog.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Create Synthetic API Test
Creates a synthetic API test to monitor API availability and performance from multiple locations.
Why this helps
Pages that matter to acquisition may not have an explicit uptime check, leaving failures to be found by visitors.
- Turn an explicitly identified priority endpoint into a proactive check.
- Use available Datadog synthetic locations for coverage choices.
- Keep endpoint and expected behavior clear in the instruction.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Ahrefs and Datadog once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation from Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3Tell Notis which Ahrefs pages to consider and the exact endpoint and test expectations for a Datadog Synthetic API Test.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule as the trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real endpoint and verify the created test uses the intended URL and expectations.
Questions about this workflow
Will Notis invent a test endpoint from Ahrefs keywords?
No. Provide or identify an actual endpoint and the expected response behavior. Ahrefs research alone may not supply test details.
Can the test run from any location?
Datadog provides a separate action to retrieve available synthetic locations. Use locations available to your organization and specify your preference.
