When you run a scraping recipe for example you are essentially populating the spreadsheet with rows of structured data you have captured from web pages. The best way to visualize how workflows work is to picture a spreadsheet with columns and rows. Workflows is where you can run scraping recipes and automations. See our automation tutorials for more information about how each automation works. You can find out more about each available automation in the РІР‚СљAutomationsРІР‚Сњ section and to run any automation simply create a workflow and drag and drop the automations you would like to use. Workflows also enable you to chain additional scraping recipes or automations as well as specify whether to run this one time, or with a recurring schedule.Р”Р„utomations on the other hand are pre-built and enable you to perform actions inside a workflow, for example fetching search results from Google, detecting social media or email contact details, transforming text, dates or numbers, performing translations etcРІР‚В¦ To run your scraping recipes, simply create a new workflow and drag and drop your scraping recipe. See our Scraping recipe tutorial for more information. Select all matching elements on the page (for example all the product titles or URLS). To get started simply load a page and then click on any element. Scraping recipes enable you to capture the following elements from a page: Or you can provide a list of product or listing page urls (using the data input automation) and for each url scrape specific fields (keep in mind all pages need to share the same html template). You can create a scraping recipe based on a single search result or category page to automatically capture all the listing names and urls (paginating through all the pages available). There are two ways of using scraping recipes: Scraping recipes enable you to create your own bots to scrape data from any website via a point and click browser.

The key point to remember is that everything in Hexomatic is run inside a workflow, and this is where you add scraping recipes or automations and decide the output and scheduling of your workflow. Hexomatic consists of three core elements: Scraping recipes, automations and workflows. In this short tutorial we are going to run through how Hexomatic works and core concepts to keep in mind to run your workflows.
