Know which research tasks are ready to run

A recurring task catalog makes your saved Apify research routines easier to find when the next Affinity request arrives.

Trigger

Recurring schedule

Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.

Action

Get list of tasks

Lists tasks belonging to the authenticated user.

Why this helps

Saved tasks become hard to reuse when nobody remembers what exists or where to look.

  • Get a recurring list of available Apify tasks.
  • Summarize task names and configuration details for quick selection.
  • Reduce duplicated setup for recurring research needs.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 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, ask Notis to list your Apify tasks and summarize their available details for Affinity research.
  • 4Choose notis_cron as the recurring schedule and select where run reports should go.
  • 5Test once and make sure the task catalog helps distinguish your saved routines.

Questions about this workflow

Does the catalog know each task's business purpose?

Only if that purpose is present in the task details or provided in your instruction. Add context for any task whose name is not self-explanatory.

Can I limit the catalog to a page of tasks?

The list supports pagination. Specify the scope you want and review whether additional pages are needed.
