Create your own Apify and Button widget workflow
Create custom workflows effortlessly by selecting triggers, queries, and actions. With IFTTT, it's simple: “If this” trigger happens, “then that” action follows. Streamline tasks and save time with automated workflows that work for you.

This trigger fires when an Apify Actor run reaches a terminal state (succeeded, failed, timed out, or aborted).
Button press
