Notis

Run a saved research task with project-specific inputs

Reuse a configured Apify task while passing the current project's research inputs from an incoming webhook.

Trigger

Webhook received

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.

Action

Run Task Sync (POST)

Run an Actor task with input overrides and return its output; it continues server-side if the request times out.

Why this helps

Re-entering project-specific search inputs every time you run the same research task creates avoidable friction.

  • Reuse an existing task configuration.
  • Pass webhook-supplied input overrides to the task.
  • Receive task output in the run report when it completes within the synchronous limit.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect AccuLynx and Apify once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
  • 3Tell Notis which saved task to run and which project-specific values from the webhook should override its input.
  • 4Choose the webhook trigger and report channel.
  • 5Test with one real project webhook and confirm the returned output.

Questions about this workflow

What if the task takes longer than 300 seconds?

The synchronous request may time out, though the run continues server-side. Use an asynchronous task run for longer work.

Can the task input be changed completely?

The action supports input overrides. Specify only the project values the task accepts.
