How to connect Render and Apify
Create a New Scenario to Connect Render and Apify
In the workspace, click the “Create New Scenario” button.

Add the First Step
Add the first node – a trigger that will initiate the scenario when it receives the required event. Triggers can be scheduled, called by a Render, triggered by another scenario, or executed manually (for testing purposes). In most cases, Render or Apify will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find Render or Apify, and select the appropriate trigger to start the scenario.

Add the Render Node
Select the Render node from the app selection panel on the right.

Authenticate Apify
Now, click the Apify node and select the connection option. This can be an OAuth2 connection or an API key, which you can obtain in your Apify settings. Authentication allows you to use Apify through Latenode.
Configure the Render and Apify Nodes
Next, configure the nodes by filling in the required parameters according to your logic. Fields marked with a red asterisk (*) are mandatory.
Set Up the Render and Apify Integration
Use various Latenode nodes to transform data and enhance your integration:
- Branching: Create multiple branches within the scenario to handle complex logic.
- Merging: Combine different node branches into one, passing data through it.
- Plug n Play Nodes: Use nodes that don’t require account credentials.
- Ask AI: Use the GPT-powered option to add AI capabilities to any node.
- Wait: Set waiting times, either for intervals or until specific dates.
- Sub-scenarios (Nodules): Create sub-scenarios that are encapsulated in a single node.
- Iteration: Process arrays of data when needed.
- Code: Write custom code or ask our AI assistant to do it for you.

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Render, Apify, 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 Render and Apify integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Render and Apify (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
Most powerful ways to connect Render and Apify
Apify + Render + Slack: Apify monitors a website for outages using web scraping. When an outage is detected (e.g., by not receiving expected data), Render triggers a service redeploy. Slack then sends a message to a designated channel to notify the team about the redeployment.
Apify + Render + Google Sheets: Apify scrapes competitor pricing data. This data is then used to update a dashboard hosted on Render. Finally, the pricing data and changes are logged in a Google Sheet for historical tracking and analysis.
