🔌 Automate with Zapier & Make

No code needed — trigger this Actor from your existing tools.

• Zapier: search for the "Apify" app → action Run Actor → select akula.marketing/telegram-get-username-photos → map a trigger field (e.g. a username column in a spreadsheet) to username → send the output (photo URLs, metadata) back to Sheets or a Drive folder. Docs
• Make: add the Apify → Run an Actor module, select this Actor, set "Run synchronously" to Yes, then chain a Get Dataset Items module to pull results into your scenario. Docs

Example: new username added to a verification queue → scenario runs this Actor → profile photo history gets attached to the record for manual review.
