Workflow Steps

  • Manual Trigger: The workflow begins when the user clicks 'Test workflow'.
    2. Get URLs to Scrape: It retrieves a list of URLs from a specified Google Sheet.
    3. Split in Batches: The URLs are divided into manageable batches for processing.
    4. Scrap URL: Each URL is sent to a scraping service, which fetches the raw HTML content.
    5. Clean HTML: The raw HTML is processed to remove unnecessary elements (like scripts and styles) and retain only relevant tags.
    6. Extract Data: Using LangChain, the cleaned HTML is analyzed to extract structured product information, including name, description, rating, reviews, and price.
    7. Split Items: The extracted data is prepared for insertion into a Google Sheet.
    8. Add Results: Finally, the structured product information is appended to a designated Google Sheet for easy access and further use.
