Check URL indexing on Google and report via Slack.

About

This workflow automates the process of checking whether specific URLs are indexed on Google. It uses a Google Programmable Search to verify each URL's presence and then compiles the results. If any URLs are found indexed, the workflow sends a structured message to a designated Slack channel. This is particularly useful for SEO specialists, web developers, and marketing teams who need to monitor the visibility of their web properties. By automating this check, teams can quickly identify indexing issues and take corrective action, thus enhancing search engine performance and visibility.
