Action
Run Actor Asynchronously
Tool to run a specific actor asynchronously. use when you need to trigger an actor run without waiting for completion and retrieve its run details immediately.
Why this helps
A request for current page data can get lost between chat, an Ably-connected agent, and the scraping tool.
- Starts an Actor run from a request delivered to Notis
- Returns run details for follow-up
- Keeps the request in the channel or workflow that initiated it
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Ably and Apify once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation and describe when a page-check request should start an Apify Actor run.
- 3Choose notis_webhook as the trigger and provide the webhook endpoint to the system sending the request.
- 4Choose where run reports should go, then test with one real page-check request.
Questions about this workflow
Does Ably provide the trigger for this automation?

What does the workflow return?
It starts the selected Actor asynchronously and returns its run details. Use the Actor's own configuration to define what it collects.
