How this automation works

Automate your Apify workflows by chaining Actor runs together. This Applet triggers when a selected Apify Actor run reaches a terminal state (finished, failed, timed out, or aborted) and then starts another Actor you choose. It’s ideal for creating multi-step data processing or scraping pipelines in Apify.
