Make.com + Apify Complete Guide: Automate Web Scraping Workflows (2026)

Contains affiliate links. Disclosure.

Make.com (formerly Integromat) has a native Apify module that lets you run Actors, retrieve datasets, and build full automation pipelines — all without writing API calls manually.

This guide covers every Make.com + Apify integration pattern.

Why Use Make.com with Apify?

Apify is powerful for collecting data. Make.com is powerful for routing and processing that data. Together:

[Apify: Scrape structured data]
         ↓
[Make.com: Transform, filter, route]
         ↓
[Google Sheets | HubSpot | Slack | Airtable | Email | Webhook]

Make.com replaces custom webhook handlers, data transformation code, and integration boilerplate.

Module 1: Run an Actor

Use: Start an Apify Actor and wait for results.

1. Add module: Apify → Run an Actor
2. Connect Apify account (OAuth)
3. Set Actor ID: apify/google-maps-scraper
4. Configure input:

{
  "searchStringsArray": ["{{1.search_query}}"],
  "maxCrawledPlacesPerSearch": 50
}

Sync vs Async:

• Sync (Wait for finish): Make waits for Actor to complete. Good for Actors < 40 seconds.
• Async: Make starts Actor and returns run ID immediately. Use when Actor takes longer.

Module 2: Watch Actor Run Results

Use: Trigger a Make scenario when an Apify Actor run completes.

1. Add trigger: Apify → Watch Actor Run Results
2. Select Actor and dataset fields to watch
3. Make polls Apify API every 15 minutes

OR: Use Apify webhooks for real-time triggering:

1. In Apify Console → Your Actor → Settings → Webhooks
2. Event: ACTOR.RUN.SUCCEEDED
3. URL: Your Make.com webhook URL
4. In Make: Webhooks → Custom Webhook as trigger

---

Module 3: Get Actor Run Results

Use: Fetch dataset items from a completed run.

1. Add module: Apify → Get Items of a Dataset
2. Dataset ID: {{run.defaultDatasetId}} (from previous Run module)
3. Limit: 1000 (or your batch size)

Complete Pipeline: Scrape Google Maps → CRM

Scenario Structure

[Schedule: Every Monday 9 AM]
  → [Apify: Run Google Maps Scraper]
  → [Iterator: Loop through each business]
  → [Filter: Exclude already-added leads]
  → [HubSpot: Create Contact]
  → [Slack: Notify sales team]

Step-by-Step Setup

2. Apify: Run an Actor (sync)

   • Actor: apify/google-maps-scraper
   • Input: {"searchStringsArray": ["plumbers Chicago"], "maxCrawledPlacesPerSearch": 100}

3. Iterator (splits dataset array into individual items)

4. Filter (optional): item.phone != null AND item.website != null

5. HTTP: Check if exists (optional dedup — query your CRM)

6. HubSpot: Create/Update Contact

   • First name: {{item.title}}
   • Phone: {{item.phone}}
   • Website: {{item.website}}
   • Custom: google_maps_rating = {{item.totalScore}}

7. Slack: Post message

Pipeline: Price Monitor → Slack Alert

[Schedule: Daily 8 AM]
  → [Apify: Run price monitor Actor]
  → [Iterator: Each product]
  → [Filter: price < previous_price * 0.95]
  → [Slack: Send price drop alert]

In the filter module:

• Condition: {{item.price}} < {{item.previous_price}} * 0.95

In the Slack message:

• "Price drop: {{item.product}} is now ${{item.price}} (was ${{item.previous_price}}) at {{item.url}}"
