Apply a defined update to your research Actor
Send a concrete settings change to the Actor that supports your research, then keep the update result with the request.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Update Actor
Update specified Actor settings, including its visibility or version settings.
Why this helps
Small Actor configuration changes can get delayed when they require a separate console visit and careful follow-up.
- Apply a specified update from a research request.
- Reduce manual console switching for routine settings changes.
- Keep a report of the update attempt.
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 which Actor to update and the exact settings changes supplied with the Ahrefs research request.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger, choose where run reports go, and test with a low impact supported setting change.
Questions about this workflow
Will this change every Actor setting?
Only specify the fields to update. The action updates only properties included in its JSON payload.
Can it make an Actor public?
The action supports Actor settings updates, including public status. State the intended change explicitly in the incoming request.
