Automate Directory Scraping to Google Sheets using BrowserAct
This n8n template helps you generate local business leads by automatically scraping online directories and saving the results directly to a spreadsheet.
This workflow is perfect for sales teams, marketing agencies, or anyone looking to build a list of local business leads by scraping online directories like YP.com.
Self-Hosted Only
This Workflow uses a community contribution and is designed and tested for self-hosted n8n instances only.
How it works
- The workflow is triggered manually. You can set the
business_categoryandcity_locationinputs in the "Run a workflow task" node. - A BrowserAct node initiates the web scraping task on your BrowserAct account using the template specified.
- A second BrowserAct node ("Get details of a workflow task") patiently waits for the scraping job to finish before allowing the workflow to proceed.
- A Code node takes the raw output from the scraper (which is a single JSON string) and correctly parses it, splitting the data into individual items for each business.
- Finally, a Google Sheets node appends or updates each business as a new row in your spreadsheet, matching on "Company Name" to prevent duplicates.
Requirements
- BrowserAct API account for web scraping
- BrowserAct "Online Directory Lead Scraper (YP.com)" Template
- BrowserAct n8n Community Node -> (n8n Nodes BrowserAct)
- Google Sheets credentials for saving the leads
