Run a saved research task with request-specific input
Give each research request its own input while reusing the Apify task you already trust.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Run Task Sync with Input Override & Get Dataset Items
Runs a task with input overrides and retrieves its dataset items; it must finish within 300 seconds.
Why this helps
A saved research task is less useful when each new question requires manually editing its input and remembering to restore it.
- Reuse a saved task for distinct research requests.
- Retrieve dataset items in the same synchronous run.
- Keep each request's search scope in its instruction.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect AgencyZoom and Apify once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it Prospect Search Refresh.
- 3Tell Notis which saved Apify task to run, what input to supply for each request, and how to summarize returned dataset items.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real search request and confirm the input and results match the requested scope.
Questions about this workflow
Does the input override change the saved task permanently?
The action runs the task using input overrides for that run. The workflow is intended for request-specific inputs.
What if the task returns many items?
This action retrieves dataset items synchronously and has a 300-second request limit. Keep the requested result size suitable for a synchronous run.
