For a complete automation consisting of multiple scenarios, I am looking for the following solution.
The idea:
I want to scrape Indeed based on the following input:
Job title
Country
Location
Max number of items
This is connected via Apify, which sends the following data per row back to Google Sheets:
Job title
Company name
Contact person
Phone number
Email
Job description
Location
Indeed URL
Then, a subsequent scenario triggers an actor in Apify to perform a search and scrape on Google Maps. Since the Indeed output sends multiple rows to the Google spreadsheet, the Apify Google Maps actor activates multiple requests. That is generally fine, and it should then insert the following data into the correct row:
Website URL
General phone number
Alternative phone number
General email address
Address
The issues:
I am currently facing two issues in this last scenario:
Problem 1: The scenario only triggers on the last row that the Indeed Apify Actor has inserted.
Problem 2: The scenario updates all rows with the output from the Google Maps Search & Scrape.
For example, if my Indeed scrape returns three rows of data, the Google Maps Search & Scrape takes the data from the last row, processes it, and fills the output into all three rows instead of just the correct one.
I’ve added a screenshot from the scenario after a testrun
You have not yet provided sufficient information to demonstrate the problem that would allow us to reproduce the scenario.
To allow others to assist you with your scenario, please provide the following:
1. Relevant Screenshots
Could you please share screenshots of any error messages, module settings (fields), relevant filter settings (conditions), and module output bundles. We need to see what you’re working with to give you the best advice.
You can upload images here using the Upload icon in the text editor:
2. Scenario Blueprint
Please export the scenario blueprint. Providing your scenario blueprint file will allow others to quickly recreate and see how you have set up the mappings in each module, and also allows us take screenshots or provide module exports of any solutions we have for you in return - this would greatly benefit you in implementing our suggestions as you can simply paste module exports back into your scenario editor!
To export your scenario blueprint, click the three dots at the bottom of the editor then choose ‘Export Blueprint’.
You can upload the file here by clicking on this button:
3. Output Bundles of Modules
Please provide the output bundles of each of the relevant modules by running the scenario (you can also get this without re-running your scenario from the History tab).
Click on the white speech bubbles on the top-right of each module and select “Download input/output bundles”.
Save each bundle contents in a plain text editor (without formatting) as a bundle.txt file.
You can upload the file here by clicking on this button:
B. Insert as Formatted Code Block
If you are unable to upload files on this forum, alternatively you can paste the formatted bundles.
These are the two ways to format text so that it won’t be modified by the forum:
Method 1: Type code block manually
Add three backticks ``` before and after the content/bundle, like this:
``` content goes here
```
Method 2. Highlight and click the format button in the editor
Providing the input/output bundles will allow others to replicate what is going on in the scenario, especially if there are complex data structures (nested arrays and collections) or if external services are involved.
Sharing these details will make it easier for others to assist you.
