Keep competitor snapshots tied to a clear question
Capture a useful slice of competitor research without losing why the check was run.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create Data
Creates a research data item in a project.
Why this helps
Competitor data loses value when it is saved without the question, scope, or limits that explain it.
- Tie each snapshot to a real question
- Preserve scope and returned evidence
- Make later comparisons easier to frame
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Ahrefs and Dovetail once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation named for competitor domain snapshots.
- 3Tell Notis to use the submitted domain and question to retrieve relevant Ahrefs data and save a scoped snapshot with evidence and caveats as Dovetail data.
- 4Pick a webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real domain question and check that the record preserves its scope.
Questions about this workflow
What should I include with the domain?
Include the question you want the snapshot to answer and any relevant market, page, or topic scope.
Will this create a complete competitor profile?
It creates only the requested snapshot from data Ahrefs returns. Ask for a broader review explicitly if that is needed.
