**Learn how to integrate your Apify Actors with LindyAI.**
10+

12+

[Lindy](https://www.lindy.ai/) is an AI-powered automation platform that lets you create intelligent workflows and automate complex tasks. By integrating Apify with Lindy, you can leverage Apify's web scraping capabilities within Lindy's AI-driven automation workflows to extract data, monitor websites, and trigger actions based on scraped information.
14+
15+
## Prerequisites
16+
17+
To use the Apify integration with Lindy, you need:
18+
19+
- An [Apify account](https://console.apify.com/).
20+
- A Lindy account with access to premium actions (required for certain integrations or higher usage limits).
21+
22+
## How to Run an Apify Actor from LindyAI
23+
24+
This section demonstrates how to integrate Apify's data extraction capabilities into Lindy's AI automation.
25+
26+
1. Start a new Lindy workflow by clicking the **+ New Lindy** button.
27+
28+
![LindyAI dashboard with new Lindy button highlighted](../images/lindy/lindy-new-button.png)
29+
30+
Select **Start from scratch** to build a custom workflow.
31+
32+
![Lindy workflow creation options, with "Start from scratch" selected](../images/lindy/lindy-scratch.png)
33+
34+
35+
1. Choose a trigger that will initiate your automation. For this demonstration, we will select **Chat with Lindy/Message received**. This allows you to trigger the Apify Actor simply by sending a message to Lindy.
36+
37+

39+
40+
41+
1. After setting the trigger, select **Perform an Action**.
42+
43+
![Lindy workflow editor, showing the option to "Perform an Action"](../images/lindy/lindy-action.png)
44+
45+
In the action search box, search for "Apify" or navigate to the **Scrapers** category and choose **Run Actor**.
46+
47+

48+
49+
1. Configure the Apify "Run Actor" Module. In the Apify "Run Actor" configuration, choose the Actor you want to execute. For example, select the **Instagram profile scraper**.

52+
53+
:::tip Actor availability
54+
55+
You have access to thousands of Actors available on the [Apify Store](https://apify.com/store).
56+

58+
59+
This establishes the fundamental workflow:<br />
60+
_Chatting with Lindy can now trigger the Apify Instagram Profile Scraper._
61+
62+
### Extending Your Workflow
63+
64+
Lindy offers different triggers (e.g., _email received_, _Slack message received_, etc.) and actions beyond running an Actor.
65+
66+
After the Apify Actor run is initiated, you can define what happens next, depending on your needs:
67+
68+
- **When Actor Run Starts:**
69+
- You might want to send a notification.
70+
- Log the start time.
71+
- Run a pre-processing step.
72+
- **After Results Are Available:** Once the Apify Actor completes and its results are ready, you can:
73+
- Retrieve the Actor's output data from its dataset.
74+
- Pass the extracted data to Lindy's AI for summarization, analysis, content generation, or other AI-driven tasks.
75+
- Route the data to other services (e.g., Google Sheets, databases, email notifications) using Lindy's action modules.
76+
77+
## Available Actions in LindyAI for Apify
78+
79+
While LindyAI's specific module names may evolve, the core Apify functionalities typically exposed are:
80+
81+
- **Run Actor:** Initiates a specific Apify Actor and can optionally wait for its completion.
