Get a quick collection run for a focused research check
For a small question with a ready task, launch the collection and get the run output without leaving the research flow.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Run Task Sync (GET)
Run an Actor task synchronously and return its output; the request times out after 300 seconds.
Why this helps
Small research checks can take longer to start than to complete when launching a saved task requires several manual steps.
- Start a configured task from an incoming request.
- Get immediate output for short running tasks.
- Avoid a separate launch step in Apify.
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 configured Apify task to run when the focused Ahrefs research request arrives.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger, choose where run reports go, and test with a task that finishes within 300 seconds.
Questions about this workflow
Does this support overriding task inputs?
No. This GET action uses the task's configured settings. Use an override action when you need custom inputs.
What happens if it exceeds 300 seconds?
The request times out, though the run may continue server-side. Use an asynchronous action for longer runs.
