Notis

Give every product release an organic search baseline

Notis watches GitHub releases and collects a Semrush keyword snapshot at the moment a release becomes public.

Trigger

GitHub Release State Changed

Triggers when a specific GitHub release (identified by tag name) changes. Monitors the release title, body/notes, draft flag, prerelease flag, published timestamp, target branch/commit, and the set of attached assets. The payload includes the full current release details, a list of which fields changed, and the previous values for comparison.

Action

Get domain organic search keywords

Retrieves organic search keywords for a domain from a specified semrush regional database; `display positions` must be set if `display daily=1` for daily updates.

Why this helps

Without a launch-day baseline, later ranking movements are hard to connect to a release and retrospective analysis turns into guesswork.

  • Records search visibility at a meaningful product milestone
  • Makes later before-and-after analysis easier
  • Delivers the baseline without adding a release checklist item

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect the GitHub and Semrush integrations once.
  • 2Create an automation with a prompt to retrieve organic search keywords for your domain when a GitHub release changes to published.
  • 3Pick GitHub Release State Changed as the trigger.
  • 4Select a reporting channel and publish a test release or prerelease to verify the flow.

Questions about this workflow

Can prereleases be excluded?

Yes. Tell Notis in the prompt to run only when the release is published and is not marked as a prerelease.

What does the snapshot include?

The Semrush report can include ranking keywords and the columns supported by the selected regional database.

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.

TriggerPolling

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.

ActionInstant

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.

TriggerPolling

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.

ActionInstant

New Branch Created

Triggers when a new branch is created in a GitHub repository. Detects newly created branches. Deleted branches do not fire events.

TriggerPolling

TriggerPolling

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.

ActionInstant

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.

TriggerPolling

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.

ActionInstant

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.

TriggerPolling

Batch comparison

Compares backlink profiles for multiple specified targets (domains, subdomains, or urls) to analyze and compare link-building efforts.

ActionInstant

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.
