# Get Alerts for New Yelp Reviews

**Use case:** 

Track new Yelp reviews of your business or competitors. Schedule this task daily or weekly: the first run saves the latest reviews, and every later run returns only reviews posted or edited since the last run, so you pay only for new ones. Connect it to Slack, email, Google Sheets, Make or Zapier to get an alert whenever a new review appears. Add as many business URLs as you need.

## 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/epicscrapers/yelp-reviews-scraper.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`).
