Why this helps
Projects change direction but updating corresponding Apify research tasks manually is tedious and easy to forget.
- Project changes automatically sync to research setup
- No manual task reconfiguration
- Research stays aligned with project goals
- Reduces friction when pivoting
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.

- 3Select Project Properties Updated as the trigger.
- 4Choose your channel and click Create.
- 5Test by updating a project's status or lead and verify the Apify task is created/updated.
Questions about this workflow
How does Notis know what research task to create?
Use consistent project naming or labels to map to research actors. For example: research [actor-name] or label market-research maps to the market-research actor.
Can I customize task inputs based on project properties?
Yes, extract from project data in your prompt: Use the project's target date as the deadline for the research task.
What if multiple projects need the same research?
Notis will create separate tasks for each project, keeping them independent.
