Collect Conference Leads (Google Sheets)
This automation scrapes a list of exhibitors, sponsors, or attendees from a conference or event website and saves the collected information, such as company name, website, and description, into a Google Sheet.
This automation streamlines the process of gathering leads and competitor information from event websites. Here’s how it works:
- Navigate to Website: The automation starts by loading the exhibitor listing page of a specified conference website.
- Identify All Exhibitors: It intelligently scans the page to identify and create a list of all company names present.
- Process One-by-One: For each company in the list, the automation navigates to its detailed profile page.
- Extract Key Details: On the detail page, it extracts important information like the company's official name, website URL, and a description of their business.
- Compile Data: It collects the data for all processed exhibitors into a structured list.
- Export to Google Sheets: Finally, the automation creates a new Google Sheet and populates it with all the collected data, neatly organized into columns for "Company Name", "Website", and "Description".

Customization Ideas
This template provides a powerful foundation that can be easily adapted to your specific needs. You can work with an assistant to:
- Target Any Website: Change the starting URL to scrape any conference, trade show, or online directory.
- Customize Data Extraction: Specify the exact information you want to collect for each company. Beyond name and website, you can ask for booth numbers, social media links, contact details, or any other visible information.
- Choose Your Output: While it defaults to creating a Google Sheet, the final data can be saved to other services or formats.
- Control the Scope: You can choose to process the entire list of exhibitors or just a small number for testing purposes.
- Define Output Naming: You have full control over the title of the final spreadsheet and the names of the columns.
