What it does
This workflow automates trend discovery and data collection from TikTok into Airtable.
- Schedule: Triggers automatically once a month.
- Scrape: Runs an Apify Actor to scrape TikTok’s top 100 trending hashtags for a specified country (default is US).
- Retrieve: Fetches the dataset with hashtag metrics after scraping completes.
- Process & Load: Splits the dataset and saves each hashtag as a new record in Airtable with relevant details.
