Launch a task with the inputs for this research question
Pass the details of a new research question into a configured task, then get the output where you can act on it.
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
Changing a task's input for each new question creates busywork and raises the chance of running a collection with stale parameters.
- Use custom input for each research request.
- Avoid changing saved task settings for one off runs.
- Receive task output directly when the run completes.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Ahrefs and Apify once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3Tell Notis to run the specified Apify task with the incoming research input and return its output.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger, choose where run reports go, and test with input for a task that finishes within 300 seconds.
Questions about this workflow
Does the task configuration persist the input override?
This action runs with custom input. Specify the request values and do not assume it changes the task's saved configuration.
Can it handle a long running task?
The synchronous call has a 300 second limit. The run may continue on the server after timeout; use an asynchronous run for longer work.
