Automating Job Posting Data Extraction from Apify Actor

I'm importing data from an Apify actor that queries Indeed for job postings. I want to fully automate the process that it extracts the latest data after the Apify actor runs and I want to make sure I don't run HTTP api calls for the same job posting. What would be the best way to go about doing this.

Here's how you can automate the Apify data import while avoiding duplicates: 1. Set up the Apify integration as a source by selecting "Import data from Apify actor" when creating your table. 2. When configuring the source: • Don't specify a particular run as input - this will allow your table to automatically update with all data from subsequent future runs. • Enable the auto-update feature, which will automatically process new rows when they're added to the table. 3. Clay's built-in auto-dedupe functionality will help prevent duplicate entries in your table, ensuring you don't process the same job posting multiple times. This setup will create an automated workflow where new job postings are imported and processed automatically while avoiding duplicates.
