Add keyword reality to landing-page code review
Notis detects a new landing-page PR, identifies its stated primary phrase, and returns the Semrush difficulty score before the team commits to the angle.
Trigger
New Pull Request Created
Triggers when a new pull request is created in GitHub, matching the optional configured filters. Emits an event for each newly created pull request. Supports filtering by repository, owner/organisation, author, assignee, label, state, base branch, head branch, and draft status.
Action
Get keyword difficulty
Determines the keyword difficulty (kd) score (0-100, higher means greater difficulty) for a given phrase in a specific semrush regional database to assess its seo competitiveness.
Why this helps
A page can reach final review before anyone notices that its target phrase is far more competitive than expected.
- Introduces search evidence while changing direction is still inexpensive
- Gives reviewers one clear competitiveness signal
- Prevents last-minute keyword research from delaying launches
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and Semrush in the Notis portal.
- 2Ask Notis to check Semrush keyword difficulty for the primary phrase named in each new landing-page pull request.
- 3Pick New Pull Request Created and describe the landing-page path or label that identifies relevant PRs.
- 4Choose a report channel and test with a real draft pull request.
Questions about this workflow
Can draft pull requests trigger this workflow?
Yes. Include or exclude drafts through the trigger choice and plain-language automation prompt.
What if the PR does not state a primary phrase?
Tell Notis to report that the keyword is missing instead of guessing, creating a useful review prompt.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link GitHub to Semrush. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
GitHub triggers
Semrush actions
New Workflow Artifact Created
Triggers when a new workflow artifact is created in a GitHub repository. Monitors for newly created GitHub Actions workflow artifacts. Optionally filters by artifact name to restrict monitoring to specific artifacts.
Get ad copies
Retrieves unique ad copies semrush has observed for a specified domain from a regional database, detailing ads seen in google's paid search results.
Branch Changed
Triggers when a GitHub branch changes. Monitors a specific branch for: - New commits pushed (head commit SHA changes) - Protection status toggled (branch becomes protected or unprotected) - Protection settings changed, including: required status checks and their enforcement level, admin enforcement, required pull request reviews (dismiss stale reviews, code owner reviews, approving review count, last push approval), required linear history, force push allowance, deletion allowance, conversation resolution, branch locking, and fork syncing.
Get anchor texts
Use this action to get a csv report of anchor texts for backlinks pointing to a specified, publicly accessible domain, root domain, or url.
New Branch Created
Triggers when a new branch is created in a GitHub repository. Detects newly created branches. Deleted branches do not fire events.
Get authority score profile
Retrieves the authority score (as) profile for a specified target, showing the count of referring domains that link to the target for each as value from 0 to 100.
Check Run Status / Conclusion Changed
Triggers when a specific GitHub check run changes its status or conclusion. Monitors a single check run for changes to: status (queued, in_progress, completed, etc.), conclusion (success, failure, neutral, cancelled, skipped, timed_out, action_required), started_at, and completed_at.
Get backlinks
Fetches backlinks for a specified domain or url as a csv-formatted string, allowing customization of columns, sorting, and filtering; ensure `display limit` surpasses `display offset` when an offset is used, and note the `urlanchor` filter may have limitations for targets with extensive backlinks.
Check Suite Status / Conclusion Changed
Triggers when a GitHub check suite changes its status or conclusion for a given ref. Monitors all check suites associated with a git reference (branch, tag, or commit SHA) for changes to status (queued, in_progress, completed, etc.) and conclusion (success, failure, neutral, cancelled, skipped, timed_out, action_required, startup_failure, stale). Optionally filters by GitHub App ID.
Backlinks overview
Provides a csv-formatted summary of backlinks, including authority score and link type breakdowns, for a specified and publicly accessible domain, root domain, or url.
New Code Scanning Alert Created
Triggers when a new code scanning alert is created in a repository. Fires an event for each newly created code scanning alert detected in the configured repository. Alerts can be filtered by Git reference, scanning tool, state, and severity. The payload includes the alert number, rule details, tool information, state, severity, and the location of the most recent instance.
Batch comparison
Compares backlink profiles for multiple specified targets (domains, subdomains, or urls) to analyze and compare link-building efforts.
New Repository Collaborator Added
Triggers when a new collaborator is added to a GitHub repository. Monitors the full list of collaborators on a repository and fires an event for each newly added collaborator. The payload includes the collaborator's GitHub username, account ID, profile URL, avatar URL, permission flags (pull, triage, push, maintain, admin), and assigned role name.
Batch keyword overview
Fetches a keyword overview report from a semrush regional database for up to 100 keywords, providing metrics like search volume, cpc, and keyword difficulty.
