Hacks to Read All Apify Runs Data in Clay Integration

Β·
Β·

Hey there, my apify integration only reads the latest run into Clay. Its causing quite big troubles as I have like 10+ runs automatically per day and it’d be important to read the data from all of them, not just the latest one. Any hacks around this?

    otherwise what would be the best way for this? my apify actor scrapes like 2-3 linkedin posts per day and I’d want all of those to flow into Clay. Any hacks around this or creative solutions?

    Use n8n.io to trigger the actor, collect the data and send it to clay.

    Hey Muhammad! Thanks for jumping in. Hey Dominik! The other work around here may be to create a task for that run on Apify and set the import to pull data from that task. Let me know if this helps.

    even if I set the import for the task, which I’ve done, it still only pulls the latest run

    Dominik <> You have to create a workflow in n8n.io which will trigger an apify actor <> scraps the data and send it to clay and keep doing it multiple times for different inputs.

    Thanks for jumping in Muhammad! Hey Dominik! Sorry for the confusion. I made a quick video explaining how the integration works here: https://share.cleanshot.com/Hvv7q2r3 For context, the initial import is currently limited to only pull from the latest run or a specific run (if selected), but new imports should pull from all subsequent runs that took place after. To confirm, you only saw the table get updated with results from the latest run? Can you share the table with that import? We'll look into this.
