Run a saved task and review its research data
Use a configured research task to collect data and bring its results back for a focused review.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Run Task Sync & Get Dataset Items
Run an Actor task synchronously and return dataset items; the request times out after 300 seconds.
Why this helps
Saved research results often require extra steps to retrieve and connect to the request that prompted them.
- Run a task and retrieve its dataset items together.
- Review results in response to a specific Affinity request.
- Reduce the gap between collection and analysis.
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, identify the configured task and research request, then ask Notis to run it and summarize the returned items.
- 4Choose notis_webhook as the trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real request and verify that the returned items answer the research question.
Questions about this workflow
Could the request time out?
Synchronous task runs must finish within 300 seconds. For longer work, use an asynchronous task run and check its result later.
Can I supply new input to the task?
This action uses the task's configured settings. Use an input override action if the request needs different input.
