About This Workflow
This robust n8n workflow revolutionizes your lead generation strategy by automating the data extraction process from Stack Overflow. Initiated manually for precise control, it leverages a powerful AI agent to intelligently generate web scraping instructions for the provided Stack Overflow user URL. The Multi-Content Platform client then executes these instructions to gather rich HTML data. After intelligent parsing and formatting by a custom code snippet, all valuable user profile data—including names, locations, reputation, and skill tags—is meticulously organized and appended directly to your designated Google Sheet, transforming raw web data into actionable sales leads.
