Schedule longer Agility CMS collections with Apify
Let a configured Apify task run in the background on a schedule, then use its run details to follow up.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Run Task Asynchronously
Starts an Actor task and returns its run details without waiting for completion.
Why this helps
Longer collection jobs can stall a manual workflow when someone waits for results in the moment.
- Start longer runs without waiting synchronously
- Keep each scheduled run's details available
- Reduce the chance of a recurring collection being forgotten
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Agility CMS and Apify once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis the outcome in plain language.
- 3Ask Notis to launch the configured Apify task asynchronously and report the returned run details.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real scheduled run and confirm its run details are reported.
Questions about this workflow
Does this action return the collected dataset items?
This action launches a task asynchronously and returns run details. Use a task designed for the collection and follow up on its run output as needed.
When is an asynchronous run useful?
Use it when the task may take longer than an immediate synchronous response or when you want the scheduled launch to proceed without waiting.
