Example

Example workflow

A realistic run-through.

Scenario: A sales team needs 1,000 targeted Apollo leads within a week. The AI agent pulls 1,000 search URLs from Airtable, runs the Apollo Scraper to collect leads with emails and LinkedIn profiles, deduplicates results, and writes enriched leads into two Airtable tables (emails present vs missing). The team ends up with 1,000 clean, enriched contacts ready for outreach, with a complete activity log for traceability.

FAQ

FAQ

Common questions answered.

The AI agent can scrape up to 50,000 leads in a single run, depending on configuration and rate limits. It uses batching and parallel processing to optimize throughput while respecting Apify plan constraints. Large extractions are partitioned into manageable chunks with progress logs for traceability. You can schedule multiple runs to accumulate more leads without overloading the system. Expect throughput to scale with lead volume and network stability.

No. The AI agent is designed for non-technical users to configure sources, set filters, and run scrapes via a guided interface. Basic familiarity with Airtable schemas helps, but no programming is required for the core flow. Advanced customization can be done through simple configuration panels that map fields and define routes. If you have bespoke data needs, you can adjust mappings and table targets without writing code.

Yes. Enriched and deduplicated records are written directly to Airtable tables defined in the workflow. Field mappings ensure the correct columns receive data, and updates occur in near real-time post-scrape. You can configure whether to append or replace records, and set routing rules based on email presence. Audit trails are maintained for traceability.

Deduplication happens on key fields such as email and name before routing to Airtable. The AI agent maintains an in-memory or persistent index to identify duplicates across batches, discarding retried or repeated records. This reduces noisy data and ensures your CRM only contains unique prospects. If duplicates are detected, they are logged with the source and timestamp for review.

Leads without emails are routed to a separate Airtable table configured for 'no email' records. This separation preserves potential data points like names and company details for future enrichment or outreach via alternative channels. The system continues to scrub and verify other records to maximize usable data. You can decide whether to attempt further enrichment or exclude these from active campaigns.

Yes. Field mappings are configurable in the AI agent settings, allowing you to align scraped fields with your Airtable schema. You can rename columns, convert data types, and set transformation rules to normalize data. The setup supports reusable templates so you can apply consistent mappings across different scraping campaigns. Advanced users can export/import mapping definitions for version control.

The AI agent includes built-in error handling and logging for common issues like invalid URLs or rate-limit blocks. Each run produces a detailed log with success metrics, error messages, and retry suggestions. You can automatically route errors to a dedicated Airtable table for triage and trigger alerts if failures exceed a threshold. Ongoing troubleshooting is supported by readable, step-by-step error descriptions and actionable next steps.
