Build a dated log of competitor search visibility
Keep recurring competitor observations together so shifts are easier to review over time.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Create a File from Text
Creates a new file in google drive from provided text content (up to 10mb), supporting various formats including automatic conversion to google workspace types.
Why this helps
Competitor research loses context when each review lives in a separate session and there is no dated record to compare.
- Preserve dated observations for later comparison.
- Focus the log on competitors and metrics you choose.
- Keep research accessible to collaborators in Google Drive.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Ahrefs and Google Drive once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a clear name.
- 3Tell Notis to review Ahrefs visibility data for the competitors and metrics you specify, summarize notable observations, and save a dated entry as a Drive document.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule, then choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real competitor and confirm the saved entry in Drive.
Questions about this workflow
Can Notis tell whether a change is unusual?
It can compare against historical information available in Ahrefs or prior Drive entries if provided. State the comparison period you want, and ask it to flag when there is not enough history.
Does this guarantee continuous monitoring?
No. Notis runs on the schedule you select and records the data available during each run.
