# Funding round and acquisition alerts for SaaS companies

**Use case:** 

Watches a list of SaaS companies and alerts you when one raises a new funding round or buys another company. AI reads the last 7 days of Google News and returns only real, new events, each with a one-line summary, date, confidence score, evidence quote and every source article.

## 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).
