Check Moz index freshness for release tags
Avoid making launch calls with stale assumptions about the link index.
Trigger
New Repository Tag Created
Triggers when a new tag is created in a GitHub repository. Monitors the repository's tags and fires an event for each newly created tag. The payload includes the tag name, the commit SHA and URL it points to, and archive download URLs.
Action
Get Index Metadata
Tool to fetch link index metadata from Moz. Use when you need the current index ID (which changes when the index updates) and the dates of Spam Score model updates. Use after authenticating with Moz API.
Why this helps
Founders can compare launch numbers without noticing that the underlying Moz index has changed.
- Adds context to launch analysis
- Eliminates a small but easy-to-miss manual check
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and Moz to Notis once.
- 2Create a new automation from the portal.
- 3Ask Notis to retrieve Moz index metadata whenever a repository release tag is created.
- 4Select New Repository Tag Created and a channel for run reports.
- 5Push one test tag to confirm the index update.
Questions about this workflow
Does the index ID stay the same?
It changes when Moz updates its index, which is why this check is useful.
