Trigger

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action

Why this helps
Backlink prospects can be forgotten when research lives in browser tabs, messages, and separate spreadsheets.
- Start research with a simple request
- Save context and findings together
- Make promising prospects easier to revisit
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Ahrefs and Dovetail once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation and name it for backlink prospect research.
- 3Tell Notis to use the webhook request's prospect or topic to find relevant Ahrefs backlink opportunities and save the evidence and follow-up questions as Dovetail data.
- 4Pick a webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real prospect request and review the saved data item.

Include a site, topic, or prospect to investigate. Add any constraints that matter, such as the market or type of site.
