/v1/rankAbout this workflow
Checks tracked keywords on a tight schedule and pages the team in Slack whenever a position crosses the top-3 threshold either way. Built on n8n for rank tracking, piping the RankParse API into Slack and PagerDuty. No subscription and no per-seat pricing — just about 14 credits / day in RankParse credits.
