What it does

Index your site using IndexNow and XML sitemap Stop waiting for search engines to discover your content updates. This workflow automates the process of notifying search engines (Bing, Yandex, etc.) about new or updated pages using the IndexNow protocol. By parsing your XML sitemap and filtering for pages modified within a specific timeframe (e.g., the last week), it ensures your crawl budget is used efficiently and your latest content appears in search results almost instantly. How to configure: 1. Host your key: Generate an IndexNow key and upload the .txt file to your website's root directory. 2. Setup Configuration node: Enter your sitemapurl (e.g., https://yoursite.com/sitemap.xml). Enter your indexnowkey. Set the modifiedafter variable to define your lookback window (e.g., -7d or a specific ISO date). 3. Schedule: Adjust the Schedule Trigger to your preferred frequency (default is daily). 4. Activate: Once configured, turn the workflow on to start proactive indexing.
