Learn how to connect Apify with viaSocket, configure triggers, authenticate using API tokens, and create automation flows.

viaSocket is a workflow automation platform that lets you connect apps and automate tasks without writing code. With the Apify integration, you can trigger Actor runs, retrieve results, and build end-to-end automation pipelines that react to events across your connected apps.

Step 1: Generate an Apify API token

  1. Log in to your Apify account.
  2. Go to Settings > API & Integrations > API Tokens.
  3. Copy your personal API token.

Step 2: Create a new flow in viaSocket

  1. Log in to your viaSocket account and click Create New Flow.
  2. In the Trigger section, search for and select Apify.
  3. Choose Finished Task Run or Finished Actor Run as the trigger event.
