Every team member's change needs owner approval
- Owner turns on an action
- A teammate or AI tool proposes
- Check the current and proposed values, then approve that individual change
- Applied once and logged
Source changes use the separate Actions & approvals workflow in Datapipe. AI tools such as ChatGPT can propose changes but never approve them. Who can turn this on?
Provider rules and limits
Provider permissions still apply, and automations in Ahrefs may react to approved changes.
Only fields supported by an enabled action can be proposed; some actions also support individual owner-selected writable fields.

No. Name a project, add a data source, then choose a report and destination.
Only the workspace owner. Writes start disabled. The owner enables permitted actions and eligible teammates: owner only, all project operators and managers, or selected teammates. The owner can change this at any time, and saving new settings cancels pending proposals.
No. Teammates propose in Datapipe, and approved changes are applied through the connected Ahrefs account. Nobody else gets a Ahrefs login from this.
They can propose a change through Datapipe, the same way a teammate can. They can never approve it. Only the owner approves, in Actions & approvals.
Datapipe sends each approved change once and logs the result. If it cannot confirm that Ahrefs received it, the request is marked Uncertain and is never retried automatically, so you can check Ahrefs first.
Yes. Datapipe reads the reports on this page and can make one kind of change: add target keyword to rank tracker. Each one stays off until the owner turns it on, and every proposed change needs the owner's approval. Provider permissions still apply.
This page lists 10 metrics and 9 ways to split them. You pick the columns when you build the report.
Domain Rating scores, live backlink profiles, referring domain counts, and organic keyword positions. Account permissions and the records available from the provider determine which rows can be read.
One for each Ahrefs account you add to a project. Adding the same account to another project counts again. Reports and destinations do not use extra data sources.
Yes. The same numbers can go to a sheet, a chart, a warehouse, or an assistant.
