| **Learn how to integrate your Apify Actors with LindyAI.** | ||
|
|
||
| --- | ||
|
|
||
| [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. | ||
|
|
||
| ## Prerequisites | ||
|
|
||
| To use the Apify integration with Lindy, you need: | ||
|
|
||
| - An [Apify account](https://console.apify.com/). | ||
|
||
| - A Lindy account with access to premium actions (required for certain integrations or higher usage limits). | ||
|
|
||
| ## How to Run an Apify Actor from Lindy | ||
|
|
||
| This section demonstrates how to integrate Apify's data extraction capabilities into Lindy's AI automation. | ||
|
|
||
| 1. Start a new Lindy workflow by clicking the **+ New Lindy** button. | ||
|
|
||
|  | ||
|
|
||
| Select **Start from scratch** to build a custom workflow. | ||
|
|
||
|  | ||
|
|
||
|
|
||
| 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. | ||
|
|
||
|  | ||
|  | ||
|
|
||
|
|
||
| 1. After setting the trigger, select **Perform an Action**. | ||
|
|
||
|  | ||
|
|
||
| In the action search box, search for "Apify" or navigate to the **Scrapers** category and choose **Run Actor**. | ||
|
|
||
|  | ||
|
|
||
| 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**. | ||
|
|
||
|  | ||
|
|
||
| :::tip Actor availability | ||
|
|
||
| You have access to thousands of Actors available on the [Apify Store](https://apify.com/store). | ||
|
|
||
| ::: | ||
|
|
||
| This establishes the fundamental workflow:<br /> | ||
| _Chatting with Lindy can now trigger the Apify Instagram Profile Scraper._ | ||
|
|
||
| ### Extending Your Workflow | ||
|
|
||
| Lindy offers different triggers (e.g., _email received_, _Slack message received_, etc.) and actions beyond running an Actor. | ||
|
|
||
| After the Apify Actor run is initiated, you can define what happens next, depending on your needs: | ||
|
|
||
| - **When Actor Run Starts:** | ||
| - You might want to send a notification. | ||
| - Log the start time. | ||
| - Run a pre-processing step. | ||
| - **After Results Are Available:** Once the Apify Actor completes and its results are ready, you can: | ||
| - Retrieve the Actor's output data from its dataset. | ||
| - Pass the extracted data to Lindy's AI for summarization, analysis, content generation, or other AI-driven tasks. | ||
| - Route the data to other services (e.g., Google Sheets, databases, email notifications) using Lindy's action modules. | ||
|
|
||
| ## Available Actions in Lindy for Apify | ||
|
|
||
| While LindyAI's specific module names may evolve, the core Apify functionalities typically exposed are: | ||
|
|
||
| - **Run Actor:** Initiates a specific Apify Actor and can optionally wait for its completion. | ||

The category is questionable, the lindy.ai is focused on building llm agent, I would put it into AI integrations category.

Hmm, when I used it automations & workflows seemed best, but they do position themselves as AI first. I'll move it to AI section
