What can I automate with Apify in Sim?

With Sim you can: Run Actor; Run Actor (Async); Run Task; Get Dataset Items; Get Run. Each action runs inside an AI agent block, so you can combine Apify with LLM reasoning, conditional logic, and data from any other connected service.

How do I connect Apify to Sim?

Getting started takes under five minutes: (1) Create a free account at sim.ai. (2) Open your workspace and create an agent. (3) Drag a Apify block onto the workflow builder. (4) Add your API key to authenticate — find it in your account settings. (5) Choose the tool you want to use, wire it to the inputs you need, and click Run. Your agent is live.

Can I use Apify as a tool inside an AI agent in Sim?

Yes — this is one of Sim's core capabilities. Instead of hard-coding when and how Apify is used, you give an AI agent access to Apify tools and describe the goal in plain language. The agent decides which tools to call, in what order, and how to handle the results. This means your automation adapts to context rather than breaking when inputs change.

How do I run actor with Apify in Sim?

Add a Apify block to your agent and select "Run Actor" as the tool. Fill in the required fields — you can reference outputs from earlier steps, such as text generated by an AI agent or data fetched from another integration. No code is required.

What Apify tools does Sim support?

Sim supports 5 Apify tools: Run Actor, Run Actor (Async), Run Task, Get Dataset Items, Get Run.

Is the Apify integration free to use?

Yes — Sim's free plan includes access to the Apify integration and every other integration in the library. No credit card is needed to get started. Visit sim.ai to create your account.
