Why this helps
Runs with unclear status messages are harder to distinguish when several research tasks are underway.
- Add a status message to a specified run.
- Keep the research purpose visible in the Apify Console UI.
- Make concurrent research work easier to scan.

- 3In one instruction, identify the run ID and provide the concise progress message to display.
- 4Choose notis_webhook as the trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one run and confirm the message accurately describes the research context.
