1.Run the Thursday weekly trigger
Integrate Schedule by Zapier and scheduling cadence to start the weekly knowledge base deadlink scan automatically.
Update knowledge base deadlink records weekly on Thursday
Automatically run your Thursday deadlink scan across Schedule by Zapier, Webhooks by Zapier, Looping by Zapier, Code by Zapier, and Zapier Tables. Automatically create and update deadlink records when Thursday scan starts, weekly cadence hits, or scheduled job triggersβso you can fetch link evidence, update counts, and keep documentation owners informed without manual audits.
How this automation protects your knowledge base links
When the Thursday schedule fires, dead links can persist in published knowledge base articles until someone notices. This automation fetches article URLs, scans page HTML for true HTTP 404 and 410 dead links, and updates Zapier Tables records with counts and evidenceβso your team can fix documentation faster.

Without Zapier, we would have needed well over 100 employees today just to do what we're doing. We would have been out of business by now.
David Laderberg, VP of Sales
Without having automation, we would have to at least be double our size. Doubling is a bit of a euphemism β I think we would have died or fallen back into oblivion.
Marcelo Lebre, Co-Founder
Zapier helps us close far above 50% more deals than we would without it. It is a key element of our overall strategy and, therefore, of our sales pitch.
Raphael Bochner, Founder and CIO
Zapier gives us unlimited flexibility and creativity. With Zapier, you're like an artist with a blank canvas. I don't know what we'd do without it.
Rishi Shah, CEO and Co-Founder
We don't just want to patch holes; we want to build scalable, future-proof systems. Zapier is helping us do that.
