    To retrieve data from Apify scheduled runs in Clay, you can use our Apify source integration. Here's how: 1. In your Clay workbook, click "+ Add" at the bottom and search for "Apify". 2. Select "Pull Data from Apify Actor with Apify". 3. Choose your Apify actor. 4. To get data from scheduled runs, make sure the "Get Data from Specific Run" option is turned off. This setup will pull data from the latest run and all subsequent runs, updating daily. You don't need to specify a particular run, allowing your table to automatically update with data from future scheduled runs. If you need more help, feel free to ask for further clarification.

    but what if I want a specific table to retrieve specific data from a specific scheduled actor in Apify on a weekly basis? I have a dozen runs for different purpose but all are under same actor.

    hey team, to provide some context, I have bunch scheduled runs inside of Apify. While they all use the exact same Actor but are made for different purposes. My understanding is that Clay would automatically pull data from Actor's latest run but that might not necessarily be the one I need for specific tables. Is there a way to specify which scheduled run goes to which Clay table? They all pull data on every Sunday and if Clay is just importing the latest run in my tables, it will end up pulling wrong batch of data for all the tables
