@TC-MO we also have now and option on Make (all actor apps incl. main one) to connect using Oauth, which is a recommended way. Can we add it to each docs inclusing main Make docs? Thank you!!

Sorry if I wasn't specific about the actor we use but it's Google Maps Email Extractor:

- **Asynchronous run using the trigger module**

:::info

Make.com imposes a hard timeout for synchronous runs, the timeout varies based on your plan. If the Actor or task takes longer than the timeout to complete, the data will not be fully returned.
If you anticipate that the Actor run will exceed the timeout, use the asynchronous method with a trigger module instead.

:::

The primary difference between the two methods is that the synchronous run waits for the Actor or task to finish and retrieves its output using the "Get Dataset Items" module. By contrast, the asynchronous run watches for the run of an Actor or task (which could have been triggered from another scenario, manually from Apify console or elsewhere) and gets its output once it finishes.

This is a nit as well, but the app doesn't use the Instagram Scraper - but uses individual mini actors (e.g. Instagram Post, Profiles, Comments), so the signup page is not entirely correct cc @natashalekh
