What it does

This workflow reads the set of published URLs you track in a Notion database, crawls each one for outbound links, and writes the health of every link back to a Notion status table. It compares against the last run so it only raises new failures, then creates a Trello card for each newly-broken or newly-redirecting link with a suggested replacement.

When to use it

Use it when you want a durable, queryable record of link health over time — not just one-off alerts. Good for SEO and content ops teams who need to show link-rot trends and triage only what changed since last week.
