Get Slack alerts when Datasource Pulse detects scraper or endpoint failures

Datasource Pulse (an Apify Actor) watches your scraper's recent runs and the endpoint it feeds. It posts one JSON event to this Zap only when a source degrades or recovers, and the alert lands in Slack with the failure class, what broke, and the downstream impact note you wrote into the check. Checks cost $0.02 each on your Apify account; an every-6-hours schedule on two checks runs about $4.90 per month. Recovery notices arrive automatically, so the channel also tells you when things are fixed.

Who it's for: teams running Apify scrapers that feed dashboards, pipelines, or customer-facing features, and anyone with an endpoint that must stay up.

Requirements: a Zapier paid plan or trial (Webhooks by Zapier is a premium app), an Apify account (checks cost $0.02 each), and a Slack connection.

Customization: swap the actorId, point the generic_http check at any endpoint, adjust the schedule (cost scales with runs per day). Datasource Pulse also validates API keys for 35+ pre-wired vendors, and any other endpoint takes one generic_http check, so the list is a head start, not a limit.
