Getting Started with Scrappy

Welcome to Scrappy! This guide will walk you through setting up your first lead generation campaign.

What You'll Need

Before you begin, make sure you have:

• A Scrappy account (you get 100 free credits when you sign up)
• A list of websites you want to scrape
• A clear idea of what contact information you're looking for

Step 1: Create Your First Project

Projects help you organize your leads. Think of them as folders for different campaigns or clients.

1. Go to your Dashboard
2. Click "New Project"
3. Give it a name like "Q1 Outreach" or "Tech Startups"

Step 2: Add Sources

Sources are the websites Scrappy will scrape for contact information.

https://example-company.com/about
https://another-startup.com/team
https://agency-website.com/contact

You can add sources manually, or use our AI Source Discovery feature to find relevant websites based on keywords.

Using AI Source Discovery

1. Go to Sources > AI Discovery
2. Enter keywords like "SaaS startups San Francisco"
3. Let AI find relevant company websites
4. Review and approve the suggestions

Step 3: Start Scraping

Once you've added sources:

1. Go to Jobs > New Job
2. Select your project and sources
3. Click "Start Scraping"

Scrappy will use a cloud browser to visit each page and extract:

• Email addresses
• Phone numbers
• Social media links
• Company information

Step 4: Validate Emails

Don't send to invalid emails! Our multi-tier validation system checks:

• Syntax - Is it a valid email format?
• Domain - Does the domain exist and accept mail?
• Deliverability - Will the email actually reach the inbox?

Step 5: Export Your Leads

Once validation is complete, export your leads:

• CSV - For spreadsheets and most CRMs
• JSON - For developers and custom integrations

Tips for Better Results

1. Start specific - Target specific pages like /team, /about, or /contact
2. Use AI discovery - Let AI find sources you might have missed
3. Validate everything - Bad emails hurt your sender reputation
4. Organize by project - Keep campaigns separate for better tracking
