What Does BrowserAct Social Media Contact Finder Do?
Social Media Contact Finder searches public web and profile pages for social media accounts connected to a company name, username, phone number, or email address. It supports batch input, returns each matched profile as an independent row, and includes profile URLs, usernames, public contact fields, match evidence, and confidence scores for research and enrichment workflows.
The default run uses company names and the Core Social Platforms scope. Change the lookup method, batch values, platform group, phone country, or match level without rebuilding the Bot.
Key Features of Social Media Contact Finder
- Search by company name, username, phone number, or email address.
- Process multiple lookup targets in one run while preserving input order.
- Choose a platform group instead of configuring platforms one by one.
- Return one flat row for every matched social profile.
- Keep unmatched targets visible through an independent
not_foundrow. - Include match reasons, evidence URLs, and confidence scores for review.

Result Handling
Each matched profile or completed no-match check occupies its own row in the result and CSV export. Multiple records are not combined into one cell.
If extraction fails for every target, the task fails instead of returning a successful error-only result. When a batch has usable results alongside failed checks, the usable rows are retained and incomplete work is identified. Missing optional values do not by themselves mean that extraction failed.

How to Build a New Scraper Bot with Agent Built
Step 1: Describe the data you need
Open BrowserAct and start Agent Built from the Home prompt box or from Create > Build with Agent. Describe the public websites, lookup methods, reusable inputs, fields, and row structure you need.
Step 2: Let BrowserAct build and test the Bot
BrowserAct explores the public pages, creates the navigation and extraction workflow, and tests the result. Confirm that successful matches, optional empty fields, and unmatched inputs follow the output structure you requested.
Step 3: Run the Bot and review the result
Run the completed Bot with populated defaults first. Review source URLs, match evidence, missing optional fields, row independence, and the result count before using new batch values.
