Frequently asked questions

Which websites can the agent scrape?

The agent can be configured to monitor job boards (LinkedIn, Indeed, Glassdoor), company directories (Apollo, Hunter, ZoomInfo), industry databases, news sites, and custom web properties. We verify each source for terms-of-service compliance before deployment and can discuss alternative data partnerships if needed.

How accurate is the contact information extracted?

Extracted email and phone data varies by source quality. We validate extracted contacts against industry databases where available and flag low-confidence records. Most customers combine scraping with optional enrichment APIs to confirm contact validity before sales outreach.

Can the agent handle complex qualification rules?

Yes. The agent supports Boolean logic (AND/OR conditions), weighted scoring, exclusion lists, and conditional routing. For example: 'Flag only companies with 50-500 employees in Tech, excluding those already in CRM, with lead score above 70.' Your rules are translated into agent logic during setup.

How quickly does the agent deliver new leads?

Delivery speed depends on your configuration. Most customers see qualified leads in their CRM or Slack within 15-60 minutes of extraction. For real-time-sensitive use cases, we can configure immediate push delivery or webhook triggers.

What if a prospect appears in multiple sources?

The agent automatically detects duplicates using email, phone, and company name matching. Only one record is delivered to your CRM, eliminating wasted outreach. You can choose to enhance the single record with data from all sources.

Does the agent respect robots.txt and terms of service?

Yes. We configure scraping to comply with each source's robots.txt and user-agent rules. For sources with strict ToS, we recommend alternative data partnerships or APIs. All scraping is reviewed for legality before deployment.

How is the agent customized to our business?

During onboarding, we collaborate with you to define target sources, qualification criteria, field mapping, and delivery preferences. The agent is then trained and tested against sample data before going live. Configuration typically takes 1-2 weeks.

What happens if a source changes its structure or goes down?

Our team monitors source stability and updates extraction logic when needed. If a source becomes unavailable, we notify you and can redirect scraping to alternative sources or data feeds. The agent includes fallback behavior to avoid breaking your lead flow.
