## What's an Apify Actor?

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.

# README

## Job Posting Sales Trigger Detector

**Drop in company URLs. Get back open roles that signal a sales trigger (new CRO, VP Sales, Head of Growth, RevOps director) plus the inferred buying moment.**

### Why this exists

Sales triggers are the single best predictor of cold outreach reply rate. A company that just hired a CRO is 5 to 10 times more likely to evaluate new sales tooling than one that didn't.

Trigger data costs $99 to $499/mo at LinkedIn Sales Navigator, $300/mo at Crystal Knows, $250/mo at LeadSift.

This actor charges $0.10 per company analysed. No subscription.

### What you get back per company

| Field | Description |
| --- | --- |
| `company_url` | URL you submitted |
| `company_name` | Pulled from the careers page |
| `total_jobs_found` | Approximate count of all open roles |
| `trigger_jobs` | Array of roles matching your trigger patterns |
| `top_trigger_role` | The strongest single trigger (sorted by AI) |
| `trigger_score` | 0 to 100. 100 = multiple senior triggers |
| `inferred_trigger_event` | One sentence on the buying moment |
| `suggested_outreach_angle` | One paragraph the seller can paste into a cold opener |
| `evidence_quotes` | Exact substrings from the careers page that ground the analysis |

### Pricing

**$0.10 USD per company analysed.** Failed scans (no careers page found, blocked) are not charged.

| Use case | Companies | Cost |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Weekly trigger sweep | 50 | $5.00 |
| Monthly target account refresh | 500 | $50.00 |
| Quarterly book of business scan | 2,000 | $200.00 |

Compare to LinkedIn Sales Navigator Advanced at $149/mo, $1,788/yr, or LeadSift at $250/mo.

### How it works

1. Tries `/careers`, `/jobs`, `/careers/jobs`, `/about/careers`, `/company/careers`, `/work-with-us`, `/join-us`, `/hiring` in order.
2. Falls back to scanning the homepage for a "Careers" link.
3. Sends cleaned careers content to Claude Sonnet 4.6 with your trigger role patterns and product pitch.
4. Claude returns structured job data + a buying-moment narrative grounded in evidence quotes.

### Inputs

- **company_urls**: list of company homepage URLs (up to 100 per run).
- **your_product_pitch**: paragraph describing what you sell. The AI uses this to tailor the buying-moment inference.
- **trigger_roles**: roles that signal a trigger. Default = revenue leadership. Customize for your ICP (e.g. "Head of Data" for data tooling sellers, "VP Engineering" for dev tools).
- **max_concurrency**: companies processed in parallel.

### Use cases

- **SDR teams**: Weekly trigger sweep against your account list. Prioritise hot accounts.
- **Lead-gen agencies**: Sell "trigger-detected" lists at a premium.
- **Investors**: See which portfolio competitors are scaling sales.
- **Recruiters**: Reverse use, find companies actively hiring trigger roles to pitch your candidates.

### What this actor does NOT do

- It does not check LinkedIn. Public careers pages only.
- It does not infer hires that already happened. Currently-open roles only.
- It does not enrich with contact emails. Pair with Apollo or Clearbit.

# Actor input Schema

## `company_urls` (type: `array`):

List of company homepage URLs. We check each one's /careers, /jobs, /careers/jobs and similar paths.
## `your_product_pitch` (type: `string`):

Brief description of your product. The AI uses this to score how strongly each company's hiring pattern matches as a buyer trigger for you.
## `trigger_roles` (type: `array`):

Job-title patterns that indicate a buying moment for you. Default = revenue-leadership hires.
## `max_concurrency` (type: `integer`):

How many companies to scan in parallel. Higher = faster, more network load.
## `llm_provider` (type: `string`):

Pick which LLM you want. Gemini is recommended (1500 free requests/day at https://aistudio.google.com/apikey). Groq is also good (14400 free/day at https://console.groq.com/keys). Leave blank to use the actor owner's configured key (if any).
## `llm_api_key` (type: `string`):

Paste the API key for the provider you selected. Never leaves the Apify run, never logged.
