Zapier: New create — Run Actor and Fetch Results (combined action)

[drobnikj]

Context

Part of #121 — improving the integration for Zapier Agents compatibility.

Problem

A very common agent pattern is: run a scraper → immediately use the results. Currently this requires 2–3 steps in Zapier: Run Actor (sync) + Fetch Dataset Items. The 30-second sync timeout is also severely limiting for agents that need actual results.

Agents work best with focused, single-step actions that return everything they need in one call.

Proposed Solution

Add a new create action that runs an actor synchronously (with a longer wait) and automatically returns dataset items in the same response:

• Key: runActorAndFetchResults
• Noun: Actor Results
• Label: Run Actor and Fetch Results
• Description: Runs an Actor and waits for it to finish, then returns the dataset items produced by the run — all in a single step. Best suited for short-running Actors (under 5 minutes) where you need the scraped data immediately. For long-running Actors, use Run Actor (async) + Fetch Dataset Items separately.
• Inputs:
  • Same actor selection fields as Run Actor
  • limit (optional, integer, default 10) — number of dataset items to return
  • fields (optional, string) — comma-separated fields to include
• Output: run metadata + items[] array inline

Notes

• The existing waitForRunToFinish in request_helpers.js already supports a configurable timeout — this action could use a longer default (e.g. 5 minutes).
• Consider whether this should be a separate action or an enhancement to the existing Run Actor action with an "also fetch results" checkbox.

Since there is 30 secs timeout this do not make much sence now.
