Save and Activate the Scenario

After configuring Apify, Cloudinary, and any additional nodes, don’t forget to save the scenario and click "Deploy." Activating the scenario ensures it will run automatically whenever the trigger node receives input or a condition is met. By default, all newly created scenarios are deactivated.

Test the Scenario

Run the scenario by clicking “Run once” and triggering an event to check if the Apify and Cloudinary integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Apify and Cloudinary (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.

Most powerful ways to connect Apify and Cloudinary

Apify + Cloudinary + Google Drive: When an Apify actor run finishes, the resulting dataset items (images) are fetched and uploaded to Cloudinary for optimization. The optimized images are then backed up to Google Drive.

Apify + Cloudinary + Airtable: After a Apify actor run is finished, website screenshots are fetched and uploaded to Cloudinary. The URL and size of the images are logged to Airtable.
