What This Workflow Does
This automation solves the time-consuming manual research sales teams face when trying to understand which companies are actively growing or changing. Instead of spending hours scanning news sites and LinkedIn, the workflow automatically enriches your lead list with valuable business signals from Extruct AI.
The enriched data includes hiring trends, funding announcements, leadership changes, and product launches - all indicators that a company might be receptive to your solution. These insights get exported to Google Sheets where your team can prioritize outreach based on concrete signals rather than guesswork.
How It Works
Step 1: Input your company list
The workflow starts with your existing lead list containing company names or domains. This can come from your CRM, LinkedIn exports, or manual spreadsheets.
Step 2: Enrich data with Extruct AI
Each company gets processed through Extruct AI's enrichment API, which scans multiple data sources to identify relevant business signals and hiring patterns.
Step 3: Transform and clean the data
The raw enrichment data gets formatted into standardized fields like "Recent Funding Round" or "Engineering Hiring Spike" for easy analysis.
Step 4: Export to Google Sheets
All enriched data gets appended to a Google Sheet with clear column headers, ready for your sales team to filter and prioritize.
