A Make workflow that uses Apify. NexGenData has no official Make app — you run a public-data Apify actor inside Make through Make’s official Apify integration, on a schedule, with your own Apify token.
The problem: press releases break while you’re not looking
Funding rounds, acquisitions, exec changes, and product launches all hit the newswire first. If you track competitors, clients, sectors, or tickers, you need those announcements the day they post — not whenever someone happens to check. A scheduled Make scenario watches PR Newswire for your keywords and routes new hits to your inbox or Slack.
Who this is for
Comms, PR, competitive-intel, agencies, analysts, and founders who want keyword-based press monitoring without manual checking.
The Make workflow
- Schedule trigger — run daily or a few times a day.
- Run an Actor — Apify app → “Run an Actor” → PR Newswire Releases, with your keywords/companies in the Input JSON.
- Get Dataset Items — pull title, URL, summary, publication date.
- Filter / format + dedupe — match your keywords, drop releases already seen (dedupe by URL).
- Send to destination — email or Slack digest, Google Sheets log, or a webhook into a CRM.
Sample input (keyword watchlist)
| keyword | type |
|---|---|
| Series B logistics | buying-alert |
| acquires | M&A trigger |

Illustrative sample.
Run it on a schedule
Once scheduled, new matching releases flow to you automatically — a competitor’s funding or a client’s announcement lands in Slack within hours of hitting the wire.
