Google Search Console Integration

Overview

Connect RedirectFlow to Google Search Console to automatically import crawl errors and create redirects for broken URLs. This integration helps you:

• Import 404 errors as redirect candidates
• Monitor indexed URLs vs redirected URLs
• Get alerts for new crawl errors
• Track redirect performance in search results

Setup Instructions

Importing 404 Errors

Once connected, RedirectFlow will automatically fetch 404 errors from Search Console. You can:

• • View all 404 errors in a dedicated dashboard
• • Filter by date range, URL pattern, or error count
• • Bulk create redirects for selected errors
• • Use AI suggestions to find the best destination URLs

Example 404 Import:

Source URL              | Hits | Suggested Destination
------------------------|------|----------------------
/old-blog/post-123      | 156  | /blog/post-123
/products/discontinued  | 89   | /products
/team/john-doe          | 45   | /about#team

Required Permissions

RedirectFlow requests the following Google Search Console permissions:

• Read URL Inspection: View indexing status of URLs
• Read Crawl Errors: Access 404 and other crawl error data
• Read Search Analytics: View search performance data

RedirectFlow never modifies your Search Console data. All access is read-only.

Automatic Monitoring

Enable automatic monitoring to receive alerts when new 404 errors are detected:

• • Daily or weekly digest emails
• • Slack notifications for high-traffic 404s
• • Webhook events for custom integrations
• • Dashboard alerts with suggested fixes
