Apify
What is Apify?
Apify is a cloud platform for web scraping, data extraction, browser automation, and serverless jobs called Actors. Teams use Apify to run crawlers, manage datasets and request queues, schedule automation jobs, and react to Actor run or build events.
By integrating Apify with Konnectify, you can trigger workflows when Actors run or builds complete, start Actors from other apps, manage tasks and schedules, and route extracted data into your business systems automatically.

API & Authentication
Authentication method: API Token authentication
This connector uses an Apify API token. In Konnectify, enter your token in the API Token field when creating the connection. API tokens are typically generated and managed from your Apify account settings.
- Run, inspect, and manage Actors and Actor tasks.
- Work with Actor builds, versions, OpenAPI definitions, and environment variables.
- List and manage Actor runs, request queues, queue requests, locks, and schedules.
- Receive webhook events for Actor run and Actor build lifecycle changes.
For endpoint-level details, see the official Apify API documentation.
How to connect Apify to Konnectify
Prerequisites
- An active Apify account.
- An Apify API token with access to the Actors, tasks, queues, schedules, builds, and runs you want to automate.
- A Konnectify account with permission to create or edit workflows.
- For webhook triggers, your Apify account must be able to create webhooks for the selected Actor or build events.
Add Apify to a Workflow
- Open Konnectify and create a new workflow or edit an existing workflow.
- Choose Apify as the trigger app or action app.
Authorize via API Token authentication
- Select Add new connection.
- Paste your Apify API token into the API Token field.
- Save the connection.
Configure the Trigger or Action
- Choose the Apify event or operation you want to use.
- Map Actor IDs, task IDs, queue IDs, run IDs, request IDs, input JSON, or filters as required by the selected step.
Test the Workflow
- Run a test in Konnectify.
- Confirm that Apify returns the expected run, build, task, queue, or schedule response.
Activate the Workflow
- Turn on the workflow when tests pass.
- Monitor early executions to confirm webhook delivery, run timing, and API usage.
Triggers 11
Apify provides 11 webhook triggers in Konnectify. These triggers fire per event when Actor runs or Actor builds are created or reach specific lifecycle states.
Actions 63
Use Apify actions to create, retrieve, update, delete, start, abort, validate, list, and inspect Apify resources directly from Konnectify workflows.
Popular automations
Here are common Apify workflow patterns you can build in Konnectify.
Start downstream processing after a successful scrape
When an Actor completes successfully, retrieve run details and route the output to your next workflow step.
Retry or alert on failed Actor runs
Detect failed runs, inspect the run metadata, and start a new asynchronous run or notify your team.
Maintain request queues for crawling jobs
Create a queue, add URLs as requests, and lock queue items for controlled external processing.
Monitor Actor builds and collect build logs
When builds fail or time out, retrieve build details and logs for troubleshooting or incident workflows.
