Workflow

Copy this checklist and track progress:

Task Progress:
- [ ] Step 1: Determine lead source (select Actor)
- [ ] Step 2: Fetch Actor schema
- [ ] Step 3: Ask user preferences (format, filename)
- [ ] Step 4: Run the lead finder script
- [ ] Step 5: Summarize results

Step 1: Determine Lead Source

Select the appropriate Actor based on user needs:

User Need	Actor ID	Best For
Local businesses	`compass/crawler-google-places`	Restaurants, gyms, shops
Contact enrichment	`vdrmota/contact-info-scraper`	Emails, phones from URLs
Instagram profiles	`apify/instagram-profile-scraper`	Influencer discovery
Instagram posts/comments	`apify/instagram-scraper`	Posts, comments, hashtags, places
Instagram search	`apify/instagram-search-scraper`	Places, users, hashtags discovery
TikTok videos/hashtags	`clockworks/tiktok-scraper`	Comprehensive TikTok data extraction
TikTok hashtags/profiles	`clockworks/free-tiktok-scraper`	Free TikTok data extractor
TikTok user search	`clockworks/tiktok-user-search-scraper`	Find users by keywords
TikTok profiles	`clockworks/tiktok-profile-scraper`	Creator outreach
TikTok followers/following	`clockworks/tiktok-followers-scraper`	Audience analysis, segmentation
Facebook pages	`apify/facebook-pages-scraper`	Business contacts
Facebook page contacts	`apify/facebook-page-contact-information`	Extract emails, phones, addresses
Facebook groups	`apify/facebook-groups-scraper`	Buying intent signals
Facebook events	`apify/facebook-events-scraper`	Event networking, partnerships
Google Search	`apify/google-search-scraper`	Broad lead discovery
YouTube channels	`streamers/youtube-scraper`	Creator partnerships
Google Maps emails	`poidata/google-maps-email-extractor`	Direct email extraction

Step 2: Fetch Actor Schema

Fetch the Actor's input schema and details:

bash

node --env-file=.env ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/reference/scripts/fetch_actor_details.js --actor "ACTOR_ID"

Replace

ACTOR_ID

with the selected Actor (e.g.,

compass/crawler-google-places

).

This returns:

Actor info (title, description, URL, categories, stats, rating)
README summary
Input schema (required and optional parameters)

Step 3: Ask User Preferences

Skip this step for simple lookups (e.g., "what's Nike's follower count?", "find me 5 coffee shops in Prague") — just use quick answer mode and move to Step 4.

For larger scraping tasks, ask:

Output format:
- Quick answer - Display top few results in chat (no file saved)
- CSV - Full export with all fields
- JSON - Full export in JSON format
Number of results: Based on character of use case

Cost safety: Always set a sensible result limit in the Actor input (e.g.,

maxResults

,

resultsLimit

,

maxCrawledPages

, or equivalent field from the input schema). Default to 100 results unless the user explicitly asks for more. Warn the user before running large scrapes (1000+ results) as they consume more Apify credits.

Step 4: Run the Script

Quick answer (display in chat, no file):

bash

node --env-file=.env ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/reference/scripts/run_actor.js \
  --actor "ACTOR_ID" \
  --input 'JSON_INPUT'

CSV:

bash

node --env-file=.env ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/reference/scripts/run_actor.js \
  --actor "ACTOR_ID" \
  --input 'JSON_INPUT' \
  --output YYYY-MM-DD_OUTPUT_FILE.csv \
  --format csv

JSON:

bash

node --env-file=.env ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/reference/scripts/run_actor.js \
  --actor "ACTOR_ID" \
  --input 'JSON_INPUT' \
  --output YYYY-MM-DD_OUTPUT_FILE.json \
  --format json

Step 5: Summarize Results

After completion, report:

Number of leads found
File location and name
Key fields available
Suggested next steps (filtering, enrichment)

Error Handling

APIFY_TOKEN not found

- Ask user to create

.env

with

APIFY_TOKEN=your_token

Actor not found

- Check Actor ID spelling

Run FAILED

- Ask user to check Apify console link in error output

Timeout

- Reduce input size or increase

--timeout
