Make the freshness of Ahrefs briefs easy to see
Add a clear review date to the brief's metadata so collaborators can judge when it was last checked.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Update File (Metadata)
Updates file metadata. uses patch semantics (partial update) as per google drive api v3. use this tool to modify attributes of an existing file like its name, description, or parent folders. note: this action currently supports metadata updates only. file content updates require multipart/related upload and are not yet implemented.
Why this helps
Old research looks current when files have no visible review date or status in their metadata.
- Make review freshness visible in file details.
- Add a consistent status note to designated research files.
- Help collaborators identify which briefs need another look.
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 find the specified Ahrefs brief and update its Drive description with the current review date and status you provide.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule, then choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test on one known file and check its metadata description in Drive.
Questions about this workflow
Does this change the document content?
No. This action updates file metadata such as its description. It does not rewrite the document body.
Can Notis know whether the research is still accurate?
It can review current Ahrefs data if requested, but file freshness alone does not prove business relevance. Provide the review criteria and treat uncertain conclusions as needing attention.
