Streamline your company research by automatically enriching lead lists from Google Sheets using ProspectLens. This workflow efficiently fetches comprehensive company data, including funding, traffic, and location, updating your sheet only for new or unprocessed entries.
About This Workflow
Gone are the days of manual, tedious company research. This powerful n8n workflow automates the entire process, empowering sales, marketing, and business development teams to quickly build enriched lead lists. Starting with a list of company domains in Google Sheets, the workflow intelligently filters out already processed entries, ensuring efficiency. For each new domain, it seamlessly integrates with ProspectLens to gather in-depth company information such as funding rounds, website traffic, physical location, description, and founding year. Finally, it meticulously updates your Google Sheet with this valuable data, marking each entry as processed. This not only saves countless hours but also provides accurate, up-to-date insights for more targeted outreach and strategic decision-making.
