Find Elasticsearch indices for Ahrefs competitor research

Turn a competitor research handoff into an index inventory that helps the team choose where to investigate next.

Trigger

Webhook received

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

Action

List Indices

Lists available Elasticsearch indices.

Why this helps

Competitor research can be ready to investigate while the right Elasticsearch index remains unknown.

  • Start index discovery from a focused research handoff.
  • Make available search locations visible to the team.
  • Keep competitor context and index names in one report.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Ahrefs and Elasticsearch once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in plain language or in Automations, New Automation.
  • 3Tell Notis to use submitted competitor research context to list Elasticsearch indices and identify plausible candidates using index naming clues you provide.
  • 4Pick a webhook trigger and choose where run reports go.
  • 5Test with one real competitor research handoff.

Questions about this workflow

Will the workflow know which index contains relevant documents?

It can report plausible candidates based on names or criteria you provide, but the index list alone does not establish document contents.

Does Ahrefs start the webhook?

No. The Notis webhook starts the workflow from an HTTP request; Ahrefs has no trigger event listed here.
