🎣 Scrape Shopify store leads with ScraperCity and send contacts to Slack

⚡ 33 views · 🎣 Lead Generation & Enrichment

💡 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

Who is this for

This workflow is for sales teams, growth hackers, and lead generation agencies who want to build a targeted list of Shopify store owners — complete with emails, phone numbers, and social profiles — and receive those contacts directly in Slack for immediate follow-up.

How it works

1. A manual trigger starts the workflow and passes your search parameters (country, platform, lead count) to the ScraperCity store-leads API.
2. The API returns a runId immediately. Because scrapes can take 10—60 minutes, the workflow enters an async polling loop — waiting 60 seconds between each status check.
3. Once the scrape status returns SUCCEEDED, the workflow downloads the full CSV result set.
4. A Code node parses the CSV, removes duplicates, and formats each lead into a clean Slack message block.
5. Each contact (store name, email, phone, social links) is posted as a structured Slack message so your team can act on leads in real time.

How to set up

1. Create a ScraperCity account at scrapercity.com and copy your API key.
2. In n8n, add an HTTP Header Auth credential named ScraperCity API Key with the header name Authorization and value Bearer YOUR_KEY.
3. Add a Slack credential (OAuth2) and connect it to the Post Lead to Slack node.
4. In the Configure Search Parameters node, update countryCode, totalLeads, and slackChannel to match your needs.
5. Click Execute workflow to run.

Requirements

• ScraperCity account and API key (scrapercity.com)

How to customize the workflow

• Change platform in Configure Search Parameters from shopify to woocommerce to target WooCommerce stores instead.

• Add a Filter node after CSV parsing to keep only leads with verified emails.
• Replace the Slack node with a Google Sheets or HubSpot node to store leads in a CRM.
