Keep recurring data collection moving
Set a recurring Notis schedule to launch an Apify task, then get a report with the run details without remembering to start it.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Run Task Asynchronously
Starts an Actor task and returns its run details without waiting for completion.
Why this helps
Recurring research slips when someone has to remember to launch the same task every time.
- Start the configured task on a recurring schedule.
- Receive run details without waiting for completion.
- Reduce manual reminders for routine data collection.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Apify in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation and describe which existing task to run and what report to provide.
- 3Choose the recurring schedule trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 4Test by starting one real task run and reviewing its report.
Questions about this workflow
Does this create a new Apify task?
No. It runs a specific existing task. Use the task identifier in your instruction.
Does the workflow wait for task completion?
No. The asynchronous task run returns run details immediately; use a report or follow-up workflow to handle completion.
