The Actor is free to use, and you only pay for the Apify platform usage, which gets cheaper the higher subscription plan you have.

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## Tech Stack Detector **Paste domains → know if prospects run Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace.** One export-ready row per company — platform, confidence score, MX signals, optional Slack workspace. **No API key. No login. Paste domains only.** ### Who is this for? | You are… | Typical goal | Suggested setup | |----------|--------------|-----------------| | HR tech sales rep | Prioritize accounts on Microsoft 365 vs Google Workspace | Default run (Slack probe on) | | SaaS vendor (identity, security, backup) | Segment prospects by email stack | Default run | | Outbound SDR / BDR | Personalize messaging by detected platform | Default run | | Market research analyst | Map collaboration adoption across a domain list | `skipSlackProbe: true` for faster bulk | | IT consultant | Quick stack audit before a discovery call | 3–10 domain test run first | | RevOps / data ops | Enrich CRM company records with stack field | API run with your domain list | **What you get by default:** platform label, confidence, primary MX host, DNS signals, optional Slack workspace URL, timestamp. **When to skip Slack:** For lists of 10,000+ domains, set **Skip Slack probe** to ON — DNS-only runs are roughly 4× faster (~12,000 domains per 30-minute run vs ~3,000 with Slack). ### Quick start 1. Open this Actor in the [Apify Console](https://console.apify.com/) and paste company domains (e.g. `renault.com`, `axa.com`). 2. Leave **Skip Slack probe** off for the fullest results, or turn it on for large DNS-only exports. 3. Click **Start** — rows appear in the Dataset tab as they complete. 4. Download JSON or CSV from the run, or call the dataset API. ### What it extracts | Field | Description | |-------|-------------| | `domain` | Normalized company domain | | `platform` | `Microsoft 365`, `Google Workspace`, `Slack`, or `Other` | | `confidence` | `high`, `medium`, `low`, or `error` | | `mx_host` | Primary MX record host (when present) | | `slack_workspace` | Slack workspace URL when detected | | `dns_signals` | MX/TXT signals used (e.g. `MX:…`, `TXT:…`) | | `detected_at` | ISO timestamp | | `error_message` | Error detail when lookup failed (not billed) | ### Typical fill rates | Signal | Indicative rate | |--------|-----------------| | M365 or Google when public MX exists | ~95%+ | | Stack behind Mimecast / Proofpoint (TXT confirmation) | ~70–85% | | Slack workspace (default slug probe) | ~5–15% of domains | ### How much does it cost to detect collaboration platforms? Pay-per-event pricing (compute is low — HTTP DNS + optional Slack probe). | Scenario | FREE | Bronze | Silver | Gold | |----------|------|--------|--------|------| | 25 domains (test) | ~$0.11 | ~$0.10 | ~$0.09 | ~$0.08 | | 1,000 domains | ~$1.08 | ~$0.98 | ~$0.88 | ~$0.78 | | 50,000 domains | ~$50.08 | ~$45.08 | ~$40.08 | ~$35.08 | Includes $0.08 actor start + per-row event (`collaboration-platform-row`). **Error rows are not billed.** ### Is it legal to detect collaboration platforms from DNS? This Actor only reads **public DNS records** (MX, TXT) and optionally probes a public Slack workspace URL pattern. As with any dataset containing company identifiers, ensure your use complies with GDPR and applicable regulations. ### Input | Parameter | Type | Default | Description | |-----------|------|---------|-------------| | `domains` | string[] | — | Company domains or URLs (required) | | `skipSlackProbe` | boolean | `false` | DNS-only mode — skip Slack HTTP probe | | `concurrency` | integer | `50` | Parallel domain lookups (1–100) | | `maxDomains` | integer | `3000` | Cap after dedupe; `0` = no cap | | `verboseLogs` | boolean | `false` | Technical debug lines in run log | ```json { "domains": ["renault.com", "axa.com", "qonto.com"], "skipSlackProbe": false, "maxDomains": 3000 } ```` ### Output example ```json { "domain": "renault.com", "platform": "Microsoft 365", "confidence": "high", "mx_host": "renault-com.mail.protection.outlook.com", "slack_workspace": null, "dns_signals": ["MX:renault-com.mail.protection.outlook.com"], "detected_at": "2026-06-13T12:00:00.000Z", "error_message": null } ``` #### Confidence levels - `high` — MX directly points to M365/Google, or Slack workspace confirmed - `medium` — TXT confirmation or email proxy + TXT match - `low` — No definitive stack signal (platform `Other`) - `error` — Lookup failed (`error_message` set; row not billed) ### How it works 1. **Normalize** pasted URLs to registrable domains and dedupe. 2. **DNS MX records** — primary signal for Google Workspace and Microsoft 365. 3. **DNS TXT records** — secondary signal; detects M365/Google behind Mimecast, Proofpoint, etc. 4. **Slack probe** (optional) — checks `https://{slug}.slack.com` when DNS says `Other`. ### Local development ```bash npm install npm test apify run ``` The CLI validates `storage/key_value_stores/default/INPUT.json` against the input schema. Use `.actor/INPUT.json` as the Console prefill template, or: ```bash apify run --input-file=./input.json ``` When running locally, keys in the simulated KV input **override** `input.json` at the repo root. ### Limitations - Slack detection probes `https://{first-label}.slack.com` derived from the domain (e.g. `acme.com` → `acme.slack.com`). Custom workspace slugs, subsidiaries, and rebrand domains are often missed. Treat Slack as a bonus signal, not a complete census. - For 5,000+ domains with Slack probe enabled, consider enabling a residential proxy on your Apify account (Run settings) to reduce throttling on Slack probes. - Practical throughput: ~3,000 domains/run with Slack (30 min timeout); ~12,000 DNS-only with `skipSlackProbe: true`. ### Support Contact for custom integrations. # Actor input Schema ## `domains` (type: `array`): Paste domains or URLs (e.g. renault.com, https://www.axa.com). One platform result per domain. ## `skipSlackProbe` (type: `boolean`): DNS-only mode — faster for large lists. Slack workspaces are not checked. ## `concurrency` (type: `integer`): How many domains to analyze at once. Default 50 works well for most runs. ## `maxDomains` (type: `integer`): Cap the run after deduplication. Use 0 for no cap (limited by run timeout). ## `verboseLogs` (type: `boolean`): Show technical debug lines (Slack probe details). Off by default. ## Actor input object example ```json { "domains": [ "renault.com", "axa.com", "qonto.com" ], "skipSlackProbe": false, "concurrency": 50, "maxDomains": 3000, "verboseLogs": false } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `dataset` (type: `string`): All rows — domain, platform, confidence, signals ## `overview` (type: `string`): Table view with platform and confidence ## `runLog` (type: `string`): Text log mirrored from the run console ## `apiRun` (type: `string`): Apify GET for run metadata # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
