Hi Guys! How can I scrape general business emails from their websites? As you can see on the screenshot, I have the list of local businesses, and now, instead of going website by website, I want Clay to automatically scrape emails. Thank you!

    Hey hey! Can you drop the URL for your table here? (if applicable) ๐Ÿซถ Don't worry, only admins will be able to open your table ๐Ÿ˜‰

    Hey Vovik, thanks for reaching out! The best tool for this would be Scrape Website to pull any information from those links, including contact info they may have.How to use Scrape Website: https://www.clay.com/learn/enriching-a-companys-linkedin-profile-for-tons-of-data

    Thanks, Arturo! Actually, I used it, and it didn't work, let me check this guide and try once again. Thanks!

    Sure thing! Of course, the potential downside is that if these businesses don't have contact info on their main page then finding their /contact page is probably the next best bet to scrape it

    hey Arturo O., I watched this video and it doesn't show how I can scrape email from the website. I want to do it in bulk. Is it possible?

    Arturo O. ok I see it looks for emails. In this case, I see it found 4 emails - can I add a preferred one to a separate column?

    Also, I've just had a case when there was an email on the webpage, but Clay couldn't find that.

    Appreciate the follow-up, Vovik T.! You can hover over any of those results and choose to extract them into a new column.About that last question, unfortunately, it could miss a few because how those values are stored in the website could be blocking it from being scraped by these kinds of tools.
