2. Choosing Outscraper as the Trigger Application

In this step, you will set Outscraper as the trigger application in Pabbly Connect. The trigger event will be set to ‘On Task Complete’, which means the workflow will activate whenever a task in Outscraper is completed. Select Outscraper from the list of applications and choose the trigger event accordingly.

After selecting the trigger event, you will be provided with a webhook URL. This URL is crucial for connecting Outscraper with Pabbly Connect. Copy this URL and head over to your Outscraper account. Navigate to the Integrations section and paste the webhook URL into the designated field. Then, save the changes to establish the connection.

3. Creating a Task in Outscraper

Now that the webhook is set up, you need to create a task in Outscraper to scrape the desired data. In Outscraper, enter the URL of the website from which you want to scrape emails or contacts. Make sure to choose the output format, such as JSON or Google Sheets, based on your requirements.

After entering the necessary details, click on ‘Get Data’ to initiate the scraping process. The task will take some time to complete, typically around 10 to 20 minutes. Once the task is finished, Pabbly Connect will receive the data response, which will be displayed on your workflow page.
