Give a saved task fresh input for each research question
Use a webhook request to run an existing Apify task with the parameters needed for this question.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Run Task Sync (POST)
Run an Actor task with input overrides and return its output; it continues server-side if the request times out.
Why this helps
Repeatedly editing a task by hand makes it harder to answer focused research questions without disrupting other runs.
- Use request-specific input with an existing Apify task.
- Get immediate task output when it finishes within the synchronous limit.
- Keep the requested research scope explicit.
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 Custom Input Research Run.
- 3Tell Notis which Apify task to run, what input values the request supplies, and how to summarize its output.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real input and verify the result and completion time.
Questions about this workflow
Is this different from retrieving dataset items?
Yes. This action returns task output, while dataset item actions retrieve items stored in a dataset.
What is the time limit?
The synchronous request must finish within 300 seconds. If it takes longer, the request can time out while the server-side run continues.
