Automating Task Sync Between Apify and Clay

Romain P. · 2025-04-02 09:58:27.258318+00

Hi, I'm trying to sync automatically a Task in Apify with Clay. I'm able to push the data when I create the table in Clay but I do not see how to force the sync after or to automate that process. Could you help me please?

To automate syncing an Apify task with Clay after creating the table, you have two main options: 1. Use the Apify integration in Clay: • In your workbook, click "+ Add" and search for "Apify". • Select your Apify account and choose the actor you want to run. • Configure the input data and run settings. • Enable "Autoupdate" to automatically enrich new rows when added to the table. 2. Set up a webhook: • On your Clay home page, click "+ Create New". • Select "Import data from Webhook" in the "Other" section. • Choose your existing table or create a new one. • Copy the generated endpoint and use it with your chosen automation tool (e.g., Zapier, Make.com) to trigger the Apify task and send data to Clay. Both methods will help you automate the syncing process between Apify and Clay.

I'm going to try that but it seems to me that the scheduling of data import doesn't work. Is that what you call run settings?

No, the scheduling of data import in Clay is different from the run settings for automating syncing with Apify. The run settings for Apify integration include options like autoupdate and conditional runs, which are specific to the Apify integration. Clay's scheduling feature, on the other hand, is a broader functionality that allows you to automatically run workflows, including data imports, on a recurring basis (daily, weekly, or monthly). This feature applies to various sources and columns, not just Apify integration.

To set up scheduled syncing between Apify and Clay: 1. In Apify, set a schedule for your actor to run regularly. 2. In Clay, use the Apify integration: • Click "+ Add" in your workbook • Search for "Apify" and select it • Choose your Apify account and the actor you want to run • Configure the input data • Enable "Autoupdate" to automatically fetch new data This setup will allow Clay to automatically fetch the latest data from your scheduled Apify actor runs.
