About This Workflow
Overview
This n8n workflow is designed to automate the process of lead generation by scraping email addresses from websites and directly adding them to your Instantly.ai account. It solves the problem of manual data extraction and repetitive lead entry.
The workflow starts with a formTrigger to input a website URL and a scrape limit. It then uses the map_website HTTP request node to initially analyze the website and find potential links. Following this, the start_batch_scrape node initiates a batch scrape using the Firecrawl API, specifically instructed to extract unique, normalized email addresses. The workflow includes logic to check the scrape status (fetch_scrape_results and check_scrape_completed), wait for rate limits (rate_limit_wait), and handle retries (check_retry_count). Finally, it processes the scraped emails (set_result, split_emails) and creates new leads in Instantly.ai via the create_lead node.
Key Features
- Triggerable via a custom form to input website URLs and scrape limits.
- Utilizes Firecrawl API for advanced web scraping, including email extraction and normalization.
- Supports batch scraping for efficiency.
- Automates lead creation in Instantly.ai.
- Includes error handling and retry mechanisms for robust execution.
- Extracts and deduplicates email addresses, handling common obfuscations.

form_triggernode by defining the input fields for 'Website Url' and 'Scrape Limit'. - Set up Firecrawl Credentials: Ensure you have your Firecrawl API credentials configured in n8n for the
