Turn a campaign topic into focused web research
When a campaign needs evidence or examples, start a targeted Apify run with the topic already in context.
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
Switching from campaign drafting into a separate research tool can break focus and make the next step easy to postpone.
- Start research when a campaign topic needs a closer look.
- Pass the topic as task input without editing the saved task configuration.
- Keep results available for review before using them in campaign copy.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect ActiveTrail and Apify once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation named Campaign topic research.
- 3Tell Notis to use the topic provided in the request as input for the selected Apify task and return the output for review.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real campaign topic and inspect the returned output.
