Broken Backlink Recovery Tasks
Pulls every backlink pointing at a URL on your domain that now returns an error, logs them to a dated Google Sheet, and opens one Asana task pointing at that sheet.
How it works
- Daily — an Inject trigger repeating every 86,400 seconds.
- Set Parameters — target domain plus the Asana project, workspace and assignee IDs.
- Get Broken Backlinks → Accumulate Page → Go To Next Page — a
Label/GoToloop walkingoptOffset1000 at a time, withis_broken = trueapplied server-side. - Build Report Table — twelve columns per broken link, including the status code the URL now returns.
- Create Spreadsheet → Write Broken Links → Create Recovery Task.
Broken backlinks are the cheapest link building there is: the other site already decided to link to you, so recovering the link is a redirect or a corrected URL rather than an outreach campaign.
A run that finds nothing broken takes the third branch out of Accumulate Page and creates no sheet and no task.
Setup
- DataForSEO credential — API login and password from https://app.dataforseo.com/api-access.
- Google credential — Service Account or OAuth2 able to create spreadsheets.
- Asana credential — a Personal Access Token, plus a project GID (or a workspace GID if you are not filing into a project).
