Keep a useful record of Apify collection incidents
Save what happened, which runs were affected, and what the team tried so recurring problems are easier to investigate.
Trigger
Webhook received

Action

Why this helps
Failures become harder to diagnose when the response and affected runs are remembered only in chat.
- Keep incident details and run references together.
- Record response steps while they are fresh.
- Make repeated issues easier to recognize later.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Apify and Google Drive once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation for Apify collection incident records.
- 3Tell Notis to create an incident document from the failure details, affected run links, impact, and response steps supplied in each request.
- 4Choose a webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real incident record.
Questions about this workflow
Can it determine the cause of an Actor failure?
It can summarize a cause included in the supplied evidence. Otherwise it should record the cause as unknown or a hypothesis.
Should I include sensitive information?
Include only the incident details appropriate for the connected Drive account and its sharing setup.
