Using Chrome Extension to Merge Data from Multiple Pages in the Same Workspace

Hi everyone! How can I use the chrome extension to send new data to an existing Workspace.I am using the google extension to generate a workspace. The web that I am using as source only shows a maximum of 10 results on each page. So I want to merge the info from different pages in the same workspace. But when I click in the browser "add to workspace'' it only generates a new one

Some other issues have arise. When I am using the chrome extension on page 1 it works fantastic, it's been mapped by you. But when I start jumping from page to page, it stops detecting it although the format of the page and the data is the same. Do I nee d to re-map it for every single page of data?

Hey!! Okay, so the main issue is that we haven't prioritized the extension, and has been a while since the last update so it may not work in some sites unless it's re-mapped. We'll be updating it soon though!In the meantime, once you collect some results you can click on the Export button at the top of the results instead of "add to workspace", which will give you the option to download a CSV or copy to clipboard.

I'd say the CSV method is the easiest because you can select which columns get imported once you're uploading it. In case it helps, here's a video on how to attempt to re-map a custom recipe to collect more items if possible: https://www.loom.com/share/e5916863f02c480aa4d2d8c3e0b4b287?sid=465b22dc-ba24-4425-b8f1-3afab659f9ff

Hi again, I know it's probably a stupid question but I am incapable of finding the answer. How do you change an specific cell from an enriched data column. So for example: I have scraped or obtained the web pages using one of you features but one or two are the wrong page. How can I update the data in that cell?

Is there an example in your link above?

Hey Arturo, yes there is. So I've added an additional column called alternative web. There I have all the web pages that are correct, instead of the ones obtained by the enriched column to their left

Thank you, taking a look!

I see now, I would add a second enrichment column to only run when the alternative input is present. The thing here though is that it appears some of these companies don't have a LI URL or profile anyway.An example was added to how to add this condition and only run for those specific ones. Hope that helps.
