About this workflow

Watches a set of competitor domains and fires a Discord alert whenever one earns a new link from a DA 70+ referring domain. A competitor monitoring workflow on n8n, connecting RankParse's data straight into Discord. You pay per credit — about 6 credits / run — never a flat monthly fee.

How it works

  1. 1

    Trigger

    Runs on an n8n schedule trigger or an incoming webhook, budgeted at ~6 credits / run.

  2. 2

    Pull RankParse data

    Call /v1/referring_domains for the domains or keywords you track.

  3. 3

    Process

    Watch the competitor set and surface only the changes that cross your thresholds. Built around Discord.

  4. 4

    Deliver

    Push the result to Discord.

  3. 3.Connect Discord.
  4. 4.Point it at the competitor domain set to watch, pick a schedule, and turn it on.
