Workflow name
Scrape Shopify store leads with ScraperCity and send contacts to Slack

Who is this for

This workflow is for sales teams, growth hackers, and lead generation agencies who want to build a targeted list of Shopify store owners -- complete with emails, phone numbers, and social profiles -- and receive those contacts directly in Slack for immediate follow-up.

How it works

  1. A manual trigger starts the workflow and passes your search parameters (country, platform, lead count) to the ScraperCity store-leads API.
  2. The API returns a runId immediately. Because scrapes can take 10--60 minutes, the workflow enters an async polling loop -- waiting 60 seconds between each status check.
  3. Once the scrape status returns SUCCEEDED, the workflow downloads the full CSV result set.
  4. A Code node parses the CSV, removes duplicates, and formats each lead into a clean Slack message block.
  5. Each contact (store name, email, phone, social links) is posted as a structured Slack message so your team can act on leads in real time.

How to set up

  1. Create a ScraperCity account at scrapercity.com and copy your API key.
  2. In n8n, add an HTTP Header Auth credential named ScraperCity API Key with the header name Authorization and value Bearer YOUR_KEY.
  3. Add a Slack credential (OAuth2) and connect it to the Post Lead to Slack node.
  4. In the Configure Search Parameters node, update countryCode, totalLeads, and slackChannel to match your needs.
  5. Click Execute workflow to run.

Requirements

  • ScraperCity account and API key (scrapercity.com)
  • n8n instance (cloud or self-hosted)
  • Slack workspace with a bot token and target channel

How to customize the workflow

  • Change platform in Configure Search Parameters from shopify to woocommerce to target WooCommerce stores instead.
  • Increase totalLeads up to 5000 per run.
  • Add a Filter node after CSV parsing to keep only leads with verified emails.
  • Replace the Slack node with a Google Sheets or HubSpot node to store leads in a CRM.

  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.
