Run an Apify task with request-specific input
Use the details in each research request to shape the next task run instead of retyping them.
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
Repeating collection with different sites or search terms means rebuilding task inputs by hand.
- Use input supplied with each webhook request.
- Keep a saved task while varying run parameters.
- Retrieve immediate output for runs completed within the action timeout.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Agenty and Apify once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis to create it from any channel.
- 3Describe how request details should be used as input for the saved Apify task.
- 4Pick the Notis webhook trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real request and check the returned output.
