Why this helps
Long-running research is easy to forget when its purpose and status are not visible in the console.
- Make a run's purpose visible in the Apify console.
- Reduce uncertainty during longer research runs.
- Use candidate context to write a clear status update.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Affinda and Apify once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3Tell Notis to extract a short candidate context with Affinda and update the specified Apify run's status message with a concise progress note.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one known run and confirm the message is accurate and appropriate.
Questions about this workflow
Does this start a run?
No. It updates the status message on a specified run. Provide a run ID in the webhook context or prompt.
Should the status message include candidate personal details?
Keep it minimal. Use a generic progress description and avoid including sensitive resume information in the console message.
