Automatically sync Ahrefs data to Google Sheets

This automation connects the Ahrefs API to Google Sheets to automatically pull and track website traffic metrics and backlink data for specific URLs.

It allows SEO professionals, digital marketers, and agencies to effortlessly monitor important website performance metrics without manual data entry. The workflow is triggered when a user submits a domain name via a web form, then it sends an API request to Ahrefs, extracts the traffic and backlink data, and logs the results into separate Google Sheets for ongoing analysis.
