First post here, excited to interact with you guys. Big N8N fan already after my first few days.
I was hoping to explore the possibilities of adding a Phantombuster node? With Phantombuster you can do a bunch of super useful things, such as extracting LinkedIn Sales Navigator searches (which you can then enrich with emails).
I’m confident a lot of growth hackers on here would welcome that node!
Apologies for the delayed response here. I see it’s already created (awesome!!) but figured I’d still post a quick response on how it’s usually set up.
You fire this Phantom (Phantombuster) and put in some dynamic data (your li_at cookie, search_url, amount of leads, etc.)
Store the unique container_id Phantombuster gives you
Zapier f.e. has a listener that checks when the Phantom is finished
Once finished, grab the output. Important: if you scrape below a certain amount of leads, you’ll receive a JSON response with the details of those leads. If you scrape above a certain amount of leads you’ll receive a JSON response with links to a .csv and a .json
All JSON responses need some work because of the way PB structures them, but they’re usable.
My workflow then would be to parse these responses and use a different API to enrich the data (anymailfinder, which finds these people their email based on name+company name).

This is possible, I added the arguments parameter. It can be set as key-value pairs or as a JSON

This is missing. Will add to my to-do list a trigger.

Yes, I added a resolve data switch. When set to true it will automatically load the JSON with all the leads for you as long as the phantom is finished.
@hansldro thanks for the explanation. Since I’m not a Phantombuster user, this is really helpful.
Awesome, looking forward to this one. Especially excited to see just how fast n8n can handle a 2500 lead scrape and process that data. With my previous platform it would crash after 500ish prospects, so big hopes here.
@hansldro should be included in the next release. One of my coworkers is currently reviewing the node. Exactly when it’s hard to say. We usually release weekly but some times we do more than one release a week. I’m also currently working on the trigger.
