Trigger
New Lead Trigger
Triggers when a new Lead is created in Salesforce.
Action
Run Task Asynchronously
Tool to run a specific actor task asynchronously. use when you need to trigger a task run without waiting for completion and immediately retrieve its run details.
Why this helps
New leads often sit without company context while someone switches tools to begin research.
- Begin research as soon as a Salesforce lead is created.
- Reduce manual context switching between CRM and web research.
- Keep the research task tied to the lead creation event.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Salesforce and Apify once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a clear name.
- 3Tell Notis to start the chosen Apify task for a new lead and describe the company research you want.
- 4Pick the Salesforce New Lead trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real new lead and review the run report.
