/v1/backlinks/v1/backlinks/newAbout this workflow
Diffs a domain’s backlink profile every morning and posts any new low-DA or spammy links to a Slack channel for review. It's a n8n workflow built for backlink auditing, wiring the RankParse API into Slack. Pricing is usage-based — about 8 credits / run — with no subscription or per-seat fees.
How it works
- 1
Trigger
Runs on an n8n schedule trigger or an incoming webhook, budgeted at ~8 credits / run.
- 2
Pull RankParse data
Call /v1/backlinks and /v1/backlinks/new for the domains or keywords you track.
- 3
Process
Diff the latest backlink profile and isolate the links that matter — new, lost, or low-quality. Built around Slack.
- 4
Deliver
Push the result to Slack.
