# New location and expansion alerts for restaurant chains

**Use case:** 

Monitors restaurant chains and alerts you when one announces new locations or expands into a new city or state. Built for commercial real estate brokers, suppliers, equipment vendors and local sales teams who need to be first in the door. Each alert names the place and links the source.

## About this Actor

This example demonstrates how to use [AI Account Watch: Custom Sales Trigger Alerts](https://apify.com/fayoussef/ai-account-watch.md) with a specific input configuration. Visit the [Actor detail page](https://apify.com/fayoussef/ai-account-watch.md) to learn more, explore other use cases, and run it yourself.


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

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).
