If you use Apify for web scraping, data enrichment, or running automated actors, connecting it to your workflows has previously meant setting up webhooks or relying on third-party apps to bridge the gap. Extra setup, extra tools, extra things to maintain.

That's no longer necessary.

Apify actions and triggers are now available natively inside ESC Hub workflows. You can run scraping jobs, execute Apify actors, and process external data directly from within a workflow - no webhooks, no third-party connectors needed.

What's Available

Triggers - Apify to ESC Hub

Two new triggers let Apify kick off a workflow automatically:

• Finished Actor Run - fires when an Apify actor completes execution

• Finished Task Run - fires when an Apify task finishes execution

Actions - ESC Hub to Apify

Five new actions let your workflows send instructions to Apify:

• Run a Task - execute predefined Apify tasks

• Run an Actor - run actors with custom inputs

• Scrape Single URL - extract structured data from any webpage

• Fetch Dataset Items - retrieve scraped or output data

• Find Last Task Run / Actor Run - get the latest execution details

Use Cases

Here are a few ways this integration can work inside your business:

• Lead generation - automatically scrape local businesses from Google Maps via Apify and enrol them into ESC Hub outreach campaigns

• Competitor monitoring - monitor competitor changes with Apify and trigger instant alerts and tasks in ESC Hub for quick action

• Data enrichment - automatically scrape a lead's website and enrich contact fields with business details for better segmentation and personalisation

How to Connect

In your workflows, search for Apify actions or triggers. If your Apify account is already connected, setup fields will appear instantly. If not, click Connect Now and authenticate using your API key. You can also connect via Settings > Integrations > Apify.

A Note on Usage

Apify usage is based on Apify pricing - compute and storage - plus premium workflow usage as applicable. For large datasets, it's recommended to use a wait step after any actor and then use the Fetch Dataset Items action to process the data with an array action.
