🔌 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-recommended-channels → map a trigger field (e.g. a competitor channel you're tracking) to username → send the resulting channel list to Sheets or a Notion database. 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: weekly scheduled scenario runs this Actor against your top 3 competitor channels → new similar channels get appended to a running competitive-research sheet.
