About 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.
