Handling Large Datasets

Apify actors can return thousands of results. Make.com has operation limits.

Solutions:

  • Limit results in actor input (maxItems: 100)
  • Use webhooks to trigger Make.com only when needed
  • Split large runs into multiple scenarios
  • Use Make.com data stores for batching

Using Webhooks

Trigger Make.com when Apify run completes:

  1. Create a webhook trigger in Make.com
  2. Copy the webhook URL
  3. In Apify Console, go to your actor
  4. Add webhook: Runs Finished → Make.com URL

Make.com receives run ID and can fetch results automatically.

Common Questions

Q: How much does Make.com cost?

A: Free tier includes 1,000 operations/month. Paid plans start at $9/month. Each Apify result counts as one operation.

Q: Can I run actors synchronously?

A: Yes. The Run Actor module waits for completion by default. Set timeout for long-running actors.

Q: What if my actor fails?

A: Add error handling in Make.com. Use Router module to handle success/failure paths differently.
