Scrape physician profiles from BrowserAct to Google Sheets

This workflow automates the process of building a targeted database of healthcare providers by scraping physician details for a specific location and syncing them to your records. It leverages BrowserAct to extract data from healthcare directories and ensures your database stays clean by preventing duplicate entries.

Target Audience

Medical recruiters, pharmaceutical sales representatives, lead generation specialists, and healthcare data analysts.

How it works

  1. Define Location: The workflow starts by setting the target Location and State in a Set node.
  2. Scrape Data: A BrowserAct node executes a task (using the "Physician Profile Enricher" template) to search a healthcare directory (e.g., Healow) for doctors matching the criteria.
  3. Parse JSON: A Code node takes the raw string output from the scraper and parses it into individual JSON objects.
  4. Update Database: The workflow uses a Google Sheets node to append new records or update existing ones based on the physician's name, preventing duplicates.
  5. Notify Team: A Slack node sends a message to a specific channel to confirm the batch job has finished successfully.

How to set up

  1. Configure Credentials: Connect your BrowserAct, Google Sheets, and Slack accounts in n8n.
  2. Prepare BrowserAct: Ensure the Physician Profile Enricher template is saved in your BrowserAct account.
  3. Setup Google Sheet: Create a new Google Sheet with the required headers (listed below).
  4. Select Spreadsheet: Open the Google Sheets node and select your newly created file and sheet.
  5. Set Variables: Open the Define Location node and input your target Location (City) and State.
  6. Configure Notification: Open the Slack node and select the channel where you want to receive alerts.

Google Sheet Headers

To use this workflow, create a Google Sheet with the following headers:

  • Name
  • Specialty
  • Address

Requirements

  • BrowserAct account with the Physician Profile Enricher template.
  • Google Sheets account.
  • Slack account.

How to customize the workflow

  1. Change the Data Source: Modify the BrowserAct template to scrape a different directory (e.g., Zocdoc or WebMD) and update the Google Sheet columns accordingly.
  2. Switch Notifications: Replace the Slack node with a Microsoft Teams, Discord, or Email node to suit your team's communication preferences.
  3. Enrich Data: Add an AI Agent node after the Code node to format addresses or research the specific clinics listed.
