Never Manually Check a Competitor's Keywords Again
When you mark a new competitor for tracking in Notion, Notis instantly pulls their organic keywords and ranking data. You see exactly which keywords they own before you forget to check.
Trigger
Page Properties Updated
Triggers when properties of a Notion page are updated. Customer optionally scopes with at most one of: - data_source_id: any row in this data source - page_id: this specific page - parent_page_id: any page whose immediate parent is this page With none set, fires for any property change in the workspace the integration has access to. Adding a column to a data source fires this trigger once per existing row. Customers can branch on `data.updated_properties` (array of property IDs) to filter downstream.
Action
Retrieve organic competitors
The getorganiccompetitors endpoint in the ahrefs api provides a comprehensive analysis of websites competing for organic search rankings with a specified target domain. it identifies and ranks competitors based on their keyword overlap and organic search performance relative to the target site. this tool is essential for understanding the competitive landscape in seo, discovering potential content gaps, and informing strategic decisions for improving organic search visibility. use this endpoint when you need to identify key competitors in organic search, analyze their strengths, and uncover opportunities for outranking them. the tool focuses solely on organic search competitors and does not provide information on paid search or other marketing channels.
Why this helps
You add a competitor to your list, then forget to look up their keywords in Ahrefs. Weeks later you realize you never analyzed them, or you find the work scattered across half-finished tabs.
- Instant competitor keyword visibility
- Never miss a new competitor's strategy
- Automatic analysis each time you add someone
- Reduced mental load on remembering to check Ahrefs
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Notion and Ahrefs to Notis
- 2Create an automation: When I mark a competitor to track, fetch their organic keywords
- 3Choose the property in Notion that marks someone as a tracked competitor (e.g., a checkbox or status)
- 4Pick where Notis should send run notifications
- 5Add a competitor and verify the keywords appear automatically
Questions about this workflow
What if I have dozens of competitors?
Notis runs the automation each time you add one. If you are bulk-adding, you can batch them and Notis handles each individually.
How often is the competitor data updated?
Data is pulled fresh each time the automation runs, so you always get current Ahrefs data.
Can I see keyword overlap with my own site?
Yes, ask Notis to highlight keywords your competitors rank for that you do not yet.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Notion to Ahrefs. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Notion triggers
Ahrefs actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Backlinks stats retrieval
Retrieves comprehensive backlink statistics for a specified website or url using ahrefs' site explorer tool. this endpoint provides crucial data for seo analysis, including the total number of backlinks, referring domains, and potentially the domain rating (dr). it's essential for understanding a site's link profile, assessing its seo performance, and conducting competitive analysis. the tool is particularly useful when users need detailed insights into a website's backlink structure or when comparing the backlink profiles of multiple domains. note that the data returned is based on ahrefs' extensive web crawl and may not include very recent backlinks.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Batch Url Analysis
Performs a batch analysis on multiple urls or domains using ahrefs' powerful seo metrics. this endpoint allows users to retrieve key seo data for up to 100 targets simultaneously, streamlining the process of analyzing multiple websites or pages. it's particularly useful for comparing competitors, analyzing site sections, or processing large sets of urls efficiently. the endpoint offers customization options for selecting specific metrics, filtering by country, and choosing the calculation mode for volume-based metrics. while it provides comprehensive data, users should be aware of the 100-target limit per request and ensure they have sufficient api quota for large-scale analyses.
All Page Events
Triggers when any Notion page is created or updated across the workspace.
Domain rating for site explorer
Retrieves the domain rating (dr) for a specified domain. domain rating is an ahrefs metric that measures the strength and authority of a website's backlink profile on a logarithmic scale from 0 to 100. this endpoint should be used when you need to quickly assess the overall seo strength of a domain based on its backlink profile. it's particularly useful for competitive analysis, link building research, and evaluating potential partnership opportunities. the tool provides a single, easy-to-understand metric but does not offer detailed information about the backlinks themselves or other seo factors. for more comprehensive backlink analysis, consider using other ahrefs endpoints that provide more detailed backlink data.
Comment Created
Triggers when a new comment is created in Notion. Optional `page_id` filter scopes to comments on a specific page. When omitted, fires for any new comment in the workspace the integration has access to. Requires the 'Read comments' capability on the Notion integration. If a connection was authorized before that capability was enabled, the user must re-authorize the connection for comment events to flow.
Domain rating history
Retrieves the historical domain rating (dr) data for a specified domain over time. this endpoint is part of ahrefs' site explorer tool and provides insights into how a domain's authority has changed. it's useful for tracking the impact of seo efforts, analyzing competitors, or understanding long-term trends in domain strength. the tool returns a time series of domain rating values, allowing users to visualize changes in a domain's perceived authority according to ahrefs' metrics. it should be used when analyzing the historical performance of a domain in terms of its overall seo strength and backlink profile quality. note that this endpoint focuses solely on domain rating and does not provide other metrics like backlink counts or organic traffic data.
New Comment
Triggers when a new comment is added to a specified Notion block or page.
Explore keywords overview
Retrieves a comprehensive overview of keyword data from ahrefs' keywords explorer tool. this endpoint provides essential insights for seo professionals and content strategists, offering a summary of key metrics such as search volume, keyword difficulty, and potential traffic. it's ideal for users looking to get a quick snapshot of keyword performance and opportunities without diving into specific keyword details. the overview likely includes aggregate data and trends, helping users to make informed decisions about their keyword strategy. while it offers a broad perspective, it may not provide in-depth analysis of individual keywords. use this endpoint when you need a high-level view of your keyword landscape or to identify general trends in your niche.
Database Created
Triggers when a new Notion database (the container) is created. A database is the post-2025-09-03 container that holds one or more data sources. This trigger fires for the container's creation event (`database.created`), distinct from `NOTION_DATASOURCE_CREATED` which fires when a new data source is added to an existing database. Most customers calling Notion's `POST /v1/databases` (the legacy API) or creating a database via the Notion UI will see this event. Adding a new data source to an existing database fires `data_source.created` instead — use `NOTION_DATASOURCE_CREATED` for that. Notion's payload puts `entity.type: "block"` (the container is a `child_database` block in the content tree) and `entity.id` is the database id.
Explore keyword volume by country
Retrieves the search volume data for specified keywords across different countries using ahrefs' keywords explorer tool. this endpoint allows users to obtain accurate search volume information, helping in keyword research and content strategy planning for specific geographic regions. it's particularly useful for seo professionals and content marketers looking to optimize their targeting for different markets. the endpoint provides monthly search volume data, which can be used to gauge the popularity and potential traffic of keywords in various countries. note that the data is based on ahrefs' extensive database and may not always exactly match real-time google search volumes.
Data Source Created
Triggers when a new Notion data source is created. Fires workspace-wide. The payload's `data.parent` carries the data source's tree parent (typically the teamspace) for downstream filtering. A single template-based database creation can fire multiple `data_source.created` events at once — one per data source the template instantiates.
Explore linked domains of a site
Retrieves a list of external domains that the specified target website or url links to, using ahrefs' site explorer functionality. this endpoint is crucial for analyzing a website's external linking structure, which can provide insights into its content strategy, partnerships, and overall seo approach. it's particularly useful for competitive analysis, link building strategies, and identifying potential opportunities or risks in a website's outbound link profile. the endpoint returns detailed information about each linked domain, including the number of links pointing to it from the target site.
Data Source Schema Updated
Triggers when a Notion data source's schema is updated. Fires on column add / remove / rename. Payload includes `data.updated_properties: [{id, name, action}]` so consumers can discriminate the kind of change downstream. Optional `data_source_id` filter scopes to schema changes on a single data source. When omitted, fires for any schema change in the workspace the integration has access to. Note: adding a column also fires `page.properties_updated` once per existing row in the data source. Customers wanting a single structural-change signal should use this trigger.
Explore matching terms for keywords
The keywords explorer matching terms endpoint retrieves a list of keyword phrases that match or contain the specified keyword from ahrefs' vast database. this tool is part of ahrefs' keyword explorer functionality and is designed to assist in comprehensive keyword research for seo purposes. it returns matching terms along with their relevant metrics such as search volume, keyword difficulty, and potential traffic. this endpoint is particularly useful when expanding a seed keyword list, finding long-tail variations, or discovering closely related search terms. the tool takes into account the specified country for localized results, allowing for targeted keyword strategies in different markets. it's important to note that while this tool provides valuable keyword suggestions, it should be used in conjunction with other ahrefs features for a complete seo strategy.
