Questions about this workflow
What details does Event Created provide?
It returns the event ID, summary, start and end times, and organizer information. The Actor should be configured to work from the details available to it.
Does this create a new Actor?
No. The workflow starts a run of a configured Actor. Set up the Actor in Apify first.
Why run asynchronously?
The asynchronous action returns run details immediately, so the workflow can start research without waiting for the Actor to finish.
