Why this helps
A build that is still running or has failed can delay research if nobody checks its state first.
- Retrieve details for a specific Actor build.
- Optionally wait for the build to finish before returning details.
- Reduce uncertainty when preparing a research run.

- 1Connect Affinity and Apify once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis to create it in plain language.
- 3In one instruction, provide the build ID and ask Notis to retrieve its details, waiting for completion if appropriate.
- 4Choose notis_webhook as the trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with a known build and confirm the status information is clear.
