Advanced Patterns

Webhook-Driven Scraping

Use WhizoAI webhooks with Zapier for real-time notifications: Step 1: Create Webhook in WhizoAI

curl -X POST https://api.whizo.ai/v1/webhooks \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer whizo_YOUR-API-KEY" \
  -d '{
    "url": "https://hooks.zapier.com/hooks/catch/YOUR_WEBHOOK_ID/",
    "events": ["job.completed", "job.failed"]
  }'

Step 2: Create Zap with Webhook Trigger

Trigger: Webhooks by Zapier - Catch Hook
Action: Process the webhook payload

Example - Job Completion Handler:

Trigger: Catch Hook
Filter: Only continue if event equals job.completed
Action: Send to Slack/Email/Database based on results

Error Handling

Add error handling to your Zaps: Action: Paths by Zapier

Path A: If {{webhook_status}} is 200
- Continue with normal workflow
Path B: If {{webhook_status}} is not 200
- Send error notification
- Log to error tracking tool

Multi-Step Extraction

For complex data extraction: Action 1: Scrape page Action 2: Extract structured data with AI Action 3: Scrape related pages (using extracted URLs) Action 4: Combine and format data Action 5: Save to destination

Best Practices

Rate Limiting

Be mindful of WhizoAI rate limits based on your plan:

Free: 10 requests/hour
Starter: 50 requests/hour
Pro: 200 requests/hour

Use Zapier’s “Delay” action to control request rate:

Trigger → Delay (6 minutes) → Scrape

Credit Management

Monitor credit usage:

Check credits before running large batches
Use webhooks to get alerts when credits are low
Set up monthly budget alerts in WhizoAI dashboard

Error Handling

Always include error paths:

Add a “Filter” step to check response status
Create separate paths for success/failure
Log errors to a tracking tool
Send notifications for failures

Data Storage

Store results efficiently:

Short-term: Zapier Storage (limited)
Long-term: Google Sheets, Airtable, Database
Large files: Save to Google Drive or Dropbox

Example Zap Templates

1. Daily Competitor Monitoring

Schedule (Daily 9 AM)
  → Scrape competitor.com/pricing
  → Extract prices with AI
  → Compare with stored prices (Google Sheets)
  → If changed → Slack notification
  → Update Google Sheets with new prices

2. Lead Enrichment

New lead in CRM (Salesforce/HubSpot)
  → Scrape company website
  → Extract company info (AI)
  → Enrich CRM record
  → Tag lead with industry/size
  → Assign to appropriate sales rep

3. Content Aggregation

RSS feed (multiple sources)
  → Scrape full articles
  → Summarize with AI
  → Filter by relevance
  → Post to WordPress
  → Share on Twitter

4. Price Monitoring

Schedule (Every 6 hours)
  → Scrape product pages (batch)
  → Extract prices
  → Store in Airtable
  → Calculate price trends
  → Alert if drop > 10%

Troubleshooting

Zap Not Triggering

Check that trigger is properly configured
Verify API key is valid
Test the webhook manually with curl
Check Zapier task history for errors

Scraping Timeout

Increase Zapier timeout (if on paid plan)
Use asynchronous scraping with webhooks
Split large jobs into smaller batches

Data Not Mapping Correctly

Check webhook response format
Use Zapier’s “Formatter” to transform data
Test with sample data first
Review Zapier task history for actual payloads
