PhantomBuster: Full Control Over Agent Launch and Output Retrieval

This workflow automates PhantomBuster agent operations, replacing manual dashboard navigation and API calls that take 15-30 minutes per task for data teams. The Webhook Trigger node receives requests for getAll, get, launch, or getOutput, the Input Validation If node checks operation validity, the Check Operation Type If node routes actions, Phantombuster nodes (Get All Agents, Get Agent, Launch Agent, Get Agent Output) execute tasks, Validate Input If nodes ensure parameters, Check Success If nodes verify outputs, and Respond to Webhook nodes return results or errors. It helps data analysts in small marketing agencies (10-30 staff) managing 100+ agents monthly for scraping, lead gen, or monitoring, streamlining operations without constant logins or scripting, reducing errors and enabling focus on analysis.\n\nThis workflow saves 2-4 hours weekly on 50 operations, speeding execution by 80%. Use cases include social media scraping, competitor tracking for digital agencies. Suitable for small teams. Requires PhantomBuster ($59/month starter); n8n (free self-hosted or $20/month cloud). Scalable to 500 operations/day with API limits.\n\nInstall n8n via n8n.io or cloud.n8n.io. Get PhantomBuster API key at phantombuster.com (create account, generate key). Set PHANTOMBUSTER_API_KEY env var. Import JSON, configure Webhook node with POST path 'phantombuster-agent' and header auth (e.g., API key). Update Phantombuster nodes with credentials (API type, key). Webhook URL: https://your-n8n-instance/webhook/phantombuster-agent.\n\nTest with Postman: {operation: 'getAll'} or {operation: 'launch', agentId: 'your-agent-id'}. Verify logs for agent data. Errors: Invalid key (401, regenerate), missing agentId (400). Activate webhook. Monitor dashboard weekly.
