# Record a Workflow Heartbeat

**Use case:** 

Send one final-step check-in for the demo workflow daily-customer-import. Replace the monitor key, ok and count with your workflow before you schedule anything. The row status is RECORDED when the heartbeat is stored. Then run the Audit Workflow Heartbeats example on the same key.

## Input

```json
{
  "mode": "checkin",
  "monitorKey": "daily-customer-import",
  "ok": true,
  "count": 142,
  "durationMs": 18750,
  "message": "Imported 142 customers",
  "problemsOnly": false,
  "failRunOnProblem": false
}
```

## Output

```json
{
  "monitorKey": {
    "label": "Monitor key"
  },
  "status": {
    "label": "Status"
  },
  "seenAt": {
    "label": "Seen at"
  },
  "ok": {
    "label": "Ok"
  },
  "count": {
    "label": "Count"
  },
  "durationMs": {
    "label": "Duration ms"
  },
  "totalCheckins": {
    "label": "Total checkins"
  }
}
```

## How to integrate an Actor?

This Task's input is already configured above. Use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For full API examples (JavaScript, Python, CLI, MCP, OpenAPI), see this Task's Actor page: https://apify.com/automa-flow/workflow-heartbeat-monitor.md

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).
