👨🏻‍🎓 How to setup ?

Go to one of your Actors (not this one), and add a webhook : it can be in the integration tab if not available in your actor INPUTs.
Simply provide this actor URL as webhook, it should be this format https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/YOUR_ACCOUNT~forward-dataset-webhook/runs?token=YOUR_TOKEN
Then, add your new endpoint in the input "Finish webhook data". That's it. You can test 🙂

🐛 TroubleShooting

we recommend to use "https://webhook.site/ to ease the set up if you encounter some issues
The token is inherited from your APIFY account. That's why you cannot use this actor to fetch the actor's data of another APIFY account.
because this actor was designed initially to forward results from the apify/legacy-phantomjs-crawler, you may need to adapt to your actor integration

These variables are available to play with
