How the Extract People Lists Automation Works

Airtop initiates a real browser session to access your designated data source URL, handling any required authentication seamlessly, including logins protected by OAuth, Captcha verification, and two-factor authentication. Once logged in and the page loads, Airtop intelligently identifies elements containing individuals' information such as names, titles, and companies, extracting them automatically. Finally, the structured data is returned in clean JSON, perfect for direct integration into your CRM or internal databases.

What You'll Need

1. Open Airtop Studio and select "Extract People Lists" from the Automations Library.

2. Click "Start the session" to initiate a real browser session.

3. Log in if authentication is required, and wait for the target page to fully load.

4. Run the automation and retrieve your structured JSON output.

Customize the Automation

Tailor Airtop's "Extract People Lists" automation easily with custom logic and conditions within Airtop Studio:

Automation Best Practices
