💡 Pro Tip — HTTP Request scraping tends to break when sites update their markup. If you’re scraping a major platform, check if ScraperNode covers it — it has maintained scrapers for LinkedIn, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and 20+ other platforms that return structured data.

Description

Extract employee emails from company domains using Human-in-the-Loop scraping using BrowserAct

This workflow automates the process of enriching company data by scraping employee emails and positions from company websites. It processes a list of URLs from a Google Sheet, handles anti-bot measures (CAPTCHAs) by alerting you via Telegram to solve them manually before resuming, and saves the verified data back to your sheet.

Target Audience

Sales development representatives (SDRs), lead generation agencies, and recruiters needing verified contact info.

How it works

1. Read List: The workflow reads a list of company URLs from a Google Sheet.
2. Scrape Data: It loops through each URL and triggers BrowserAct to scrape the site for team pages or contact info.
3. Check Status:

• Finished: If scraping is successful, it parses the data (Name, Email, Position).
• Paused: If a CAPTCHA is detected, the workflow sends a Telegram alert. It pauses execution until you verify the CAPTCHA in the browser, then resumes automatically.
• Failed: If scraping fails, it logs an error.

4. Save Data: Extracted emails and names are appended to a new tab in the Google Sheet specific to that company.
5. Notify: Once a company is processed, a Slack notification is sent.

How to set up

1. Configure Credentials: Connect your Google Sheets, BrowserAct, Telegram, and Slack accounts in n8n.
2. Prepare BrowserAct: Ensure the Company Domain to Email Enrichment template is saved in your BrowserAct account.
3. Setup Google Sheet: Create a Google Sheet with a column named Company url and populate it with target domains.
4. Configure Notifications:

• Open the Send a message node (Slack) and select your target channel.
• Open the Alert User and Remind user nodes (Telegram) and ensure your Chat ID is correct.

5. Activate: Run the workflow manually to start processing the list.

Requirements

• BrowserAct account with the Company Domain to Email Enrichment template.
• Google Sheets account.
• Telegram account (Bot Token).
• Slack account.

How to customize the workflow

1. Change Data Source: Replace the Google Sheet input with an Airtable or HubSpot node to pull domains from your CRM.
2. Enrich Data: Add a Clearbit or Hunter.io node after scraping to cross-reference found emails.
3. Modify Alerts: Change the Telegram alerts to Email or SMS (via Twilio) if preferred.
