Known Agents monitors every AI bot and crawler that visits your site in real time. This workflow fires a Slack message to your team the instant a new, previously unseen crawler appears — with the bot's name, operator, and whether it's been classified as a content scraper. Your team can decide within minutes whether to block it or update your robots.txt, instead of discovering the damage weeks later.
In Known Agents, enable webhook alerts for 'new agent detected' events.
In n8n, create a webhook trigger node that receives the Known Agents payload.
Add an IF node to filter only new bots not previously seen (use the 'first_seen' flag in the payload).
Format a Slack message block with the bot name, operator, classification, and a direct link to the Known Agents dashboard.
Connect to your team's Slack channel using the Slack node and post the message.
Test by simulating a new agent detection in Known Agents and confirm the Slack alert arrives within 30 seconds.
