Save incoming research data in Apify
Send a webhook when another tool has research data ready, and let Notis persist it in Apify.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Store Data in Key-Value Store
Tool to create or update a record in a key-value store. use after you have the store id and record key to persist json data.
Why this helps
Useful results arriving from other tools can be scattered or difficult to retrieve later.
- Capture incoming JSON in a specified Apify store.
- Keep webhook-driven research data available for later use.
- Avoid manually copying results into a store.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Apify once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Tell Notis which key-value store and record key to use and how to save the incoming JSON.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test by sending one real webhook request with sample JSON.
Questions about this workflow
What starts this workflow?
An HTTP request to the automation's webhook starts it. Configure the sender to include the data Notis should store.
Does this create the store?
No. The specified key-value store must already exist, and the record key must be supplied or available in the request.

Create Task Webhook

File Deleted or Trashed
Triggers when a file is moved to trash or permanently deleted in Drive.
Delete Actor
Tool to delete an actor permanently. use when you need to remove an actor by its id or username~actorname. confirm before calling.
File Shared (Permissions Added)
Triggers when new sharing permissions are granted to a file or folder. Uses Drive's `changes.list` endpoint with inline `permissions` in the `fields` mask so each change carries the file's current permission set provider-atomically. We diff that against `seen_permission_keys` to identify newly added grants. Drive page tokens are the primary cursor; if Drive rejects a stored token, the trigger raises `PollingTriggerError` without clearing state rather than silently re-baselining and dropping events. Limitation: truly ephemeral permissions (added and revoked between two polls without any other file modification in between) are not detected. Drive Activity API would catch those but requires an additional OAuth scope and a different payload contract.
Delete Webhook
Tool to delete a webhook by its id. use when removing a webhook after confirming the webhook id.
File Updated
Triggers when a file's metadata or content changes in Google Drive.
Get Actor Details
Tool to get details of a specific actor. use when you need actor metadata by id or username/actorname.
