Overview
Unlock Automated Lead Enrichment with this AI Agent
This AI Agent is designed to supercharge your data collection efforts. It autonomously crawls company websites, intelligently identifies social media profile links (like LinkedIn, X, Instagram, etc.), and extracts them into a structured JSON format. Think of it as a diligent research assistant that works 24/7 to keep your company data fresh and comprehensive.
This AI-driven automation streamlines the tedious process of manually searching for social media information, freeing up your team for high-value tasks. It leverages OpenAI's GPT-4o model combined with Langchain agent capabilities, equipped with specialized tools for web text and URL retrieval, ensuring robust and accurate data gathering from target websites.
Key Features & Benefits
- Autonomous Web Crawling: Navigates websites (e.g., sourced from your Supabase database) to find relevant information.
- AI-Powered Link Identification: Uses OpenAI GPT-4o to intelligently recognize and extract various social media profile URLs based on patterns and context.
- Specialized Langchain Tools: Employs dedicated sub-workflows (tools) for effective web interaction:
text_retrieval_tool
: Fetches and processes textual content from web pages.url_retrieval_tool
: Discovers and lists all hyperlinks on a page, enabling multi-page crawling.
- Structured Data Output: Delivers findings in a clean, parseable JSON format (customizable schema), ready for integration into your CRM, databases, or other systems.

.
- Review the 'Crawl website' (Langchain Agent) node:
- The
Text
parameter defines the initial prompt to the agent, using thewebsite
field from the input. - The
System Message
guides the AI's overall behavior. You can customize this to refine its task or extraction focus.
- The
- Review the 'JSON Parser' node:
- The
Input Schema
defines the expected JSON structure for the social media links. Modify this if you change the AI's output instructions or need a different format.
- The
- Test the workflow with a single company first to ensure correct configuration and data extraction.
- Activate the workflow. It can be run manually or scheduled for regular data enrichment.
