1.1 Workflow description

Title
Identify company decision makers with Coresignal and Google Sheets
Workflow name
Identify company decision makers with Coresignal and Google Sheets

Quick Overview

This workflow manually pulls company website data from Google Sheets, finds matching companies in Coresignal, and searches for decision-maker employees. It then writes the resulting contact and company details back to a dedicated “Decision makers” sheet in Google Sheets.

How it works

  1. Manually starts the workflow and reads company rows from a Google Sheets spreadsheet.
  2. Normalizes each company website URL into a clean domain and searches Coresignal for the matching company by website domain.
  3. Processes companies in batches and writes placeholder “no employee found” company details to the “Decision makers” sheet in Google Sheets.
  4. For each matched company, searches Coresignal for current employees whose titles match common executive and leadership roles.
  5. If the title-based search does not return a single employee ID, runs a broader Coresignal decision-maker search that excludes HR-related roles and departments.
  6. Retrieves detailed employee (and, when needed, company) fields from Coresignal and appends or updates the “Decision makers” sheet with names, titles, emails, LinkedIn URLs, and company information.

Setup

  1. Create a Google Sheets OAuth2 connection and set the source sheet (companies with a Website field) and the target “Decision makers” sheet in the Google Sheets nodes.
  2. Create a Coresignal API credential in n8n and ensure your plan supports company and employee Elasticsearch DSL search and profile retrieval.
  3. Confirm your input sheet includes a website column named either Website or website, and adjust the Coresignal title/department filters to match the decision-maker roles you want to capture.

4. Reproducing the Workflow from Scratch

  1. 1. Download the workflow JSON

    Use the JSON export at /data/workflows/16415/16415.json as the source template for this automation.

  2. 2. Import the template into n8n

    Open n8n, import the downloaded JSON, and review each node before activating the workflow.

  3. 3. Configure credentials and variables

    Replace placeholder credentials, API keys, webhook URLs, account IDs, and environment-specific values with your own settings.

  4. 4. Test with sample data

    Run the workflow manually or in a staging workspace, inspect node output, and confirm downstream systems receive the expected data.

  5. 5. Activate and monitor

    Enable the workflow only after testing, then monitor executions, errors, and rate limits during the first production runs.

5. General Notes & Resources

Review imported nodes carefully before activation. This catalog entry is intended to help you inspect the workflow structure, understand required services, and find related templates faster.

Node names, credentials, schedules, webhook paths, and external service limits may need adjustment for your workspace.
