Exporting useful contact information is an excellent idea. More so, it is a crucial first step in the setup of a lead generation automated sequence. 

You can add many applications to these sequences. For example, there is Slack, but you can scrape the whole web! That’s the main benefit of using Phantombuster. You can use the results of a Phantom and feed it to one or a few others. There’s no limit to how much your prospecting can benefit from this automation. 😇

Automating personalized workflows in Phantombuster 

Some of the Phantoms are already predefined with a series of tasks (for example: LinkedIn scraper + Email Finder).  

Obviously, you can create even more personalized sequences depending on your needs and your activity, by combining several Phantoms. As an example, here is a complete sequence involving Twitter, LinkedIn Sales Navigator and Dropcontact’s enrichment. 🔥

1. Extracting the top tweets linked to a specific search (Twitter Search Export) 
2. Extracting the profiles linked to the extracted top tweets (Twitter Profile Scraper) 
3. A Sales Navigator list can be created with the profiles for which a name and a family name have been extracted. our tutorial on how to import contact lists in Sales Navigator. 
4. Exporting the Sales Navigator list, then scraping the public profile URLs of the employees of these companies (Sales Navigator List Export, then Sales Navigator Account Employees Export) 
5. Scraping the profiles for which you were able to obtain URLs (LinkedIn Profile Scraper). This step contains an “Email discovery” step. That’s where Dropcontact comes in.

Phantombuster’s main asset is the number of integrations at your disposal to help you automate your lead generation. 

For example, you can ask Phantombuster to extract a name, a family name, a company and an email address from the profiles of a LinkedIn search, then send it all to lemlist in order to launch a hyper targeted emailing campaign. This Phantom has an email enrichment step, to ensure that you’re only prospecting to verified and professional email addresses. More details in a few lines… 🕵️

Another example. For many users, Google Maps is the reference to find a shop, a company, a doctor, etc. It’s way more than just going from point A to point B. The “Google Maps Search to Contact Data” Phantom allows you to extract contact data from the results of a Google Maps search. You can then combine it with the “Professional Email Finder” Phantom to enrich the results with professional email addresses. 

Be careful though if you plan an enrichment after scraping Google Maps. Many of the email addresses in Google Maps are from shops who put personal addresses. Do not forget that prospecting to personal email addresses is prohibited by the GDPR. 😉

Dropcontact is an Email Finder, an Email Checker, as well as an enrichment solution for your B2B contact data, which levels up your prospecting.
