Kick off web research when a follow-up comes in
When a follow-up needs fresh web data, send a request to Notis and let it start your Apify task without waiting for the full run to finish.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Run Task Asynchronously
Starts an Actor task and returns its run details without waiting for completion.
Why this helps
A promising follow-up can stall while you manually start data collection and wait for the research workflow to get underway.
- Start the task as soon as a follow-up needs fresh data
- Get run details without waiting synchronously for completion
- Keep the request and run report in your chosen channel
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Ai ml api and Apify once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation telling Notis which existing task to launch when a follow-up request arrives.
- 3Pick the webhook trigger for the follow-up request.
- 4Choose where Notis should send run reports.
- 5Test with one real request and confirm the returned run details.
Questions about this workflow
Does this wait for the task results?
No. It starts the task asynchronously and returns run details, so the workflow does not wait for completed output.
What should the webhook request contain?
Include enough context for Notis to identify the follow-up and the configured task to run. The task itself is selected in your instruction.
Can this summarize the final dataset?
This action returns run details. Choose an action that retrieves dataset items if you need immediate result contents.
