How to trigger PhantomBuster only once with the first item from Lusha API in n8n workflow

Hi n8n community,

I’m building a workflow that does the following:

  1. Fetches multiple contacts from Lusha API (10 records at a time).

  2. Saves all contacts in a spreadsheet for record-keeping.

  3. Triggers the PhantomBuster LinkedIn Profile URL Finder, but 10 times because it uses 10 iteration (10 records from spreadsheet) which run ten times phatom.

I don’t want the Phantom to use the spreadsheet output as input — it should run independently.


What I tried:

  • Using Split In Batches → works for iterating all items, but I only want the first item.

  • Using spreadsheet as input → works, but I don’t want Phantom to depend on spreadsheet data.

My goal:

  • Save all items to a spreadsheet.

  • Trigger PhantomBuster exactly once with the spreadsheet data which it capture from Lusha.

  • Avoid loops or multiple launches.

If I don’t use a loop and connect the Phantom Buster launch directly to the spreadsheet node, I get an error saying ‘Multiple requests to the Phantom at the same time.’ Please help me to resolve it…

Here are the screen shot of this :slight_smile:
