Check deployment exclusions during indexing investigations
When Ahrefs flags an indexing concern, bring the project's excluded file rules into the review so the team can investigate deployment configuration.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Get Project Excluded Files
Lists files and patterns excluded from deployment for a project template.
Why this helps
Indexing investigations can overlook deployment exclusions when the rules are not easy to find.
- Include deployment exclusion context in indexing investigations
- Help focus technical follow-up
- Avoid searching through project configuration by hand
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Ahrefs and DeployHQ once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to review the Ahrefs indexing concern and retrieve excluded file rules for the DeployHQ project you identify.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real indexing concern and project.
