How this automation works

Trigger an Apify Actor with your voice through Google Assistant. This Applet runs when you say the Google Assistant command that activates your chosen scene, and it starts the associated Apify Actor automatically. Ideal for automating workflows or running scripts hands-free with Apify and Google Assistant integration.
