FAQs

Frequently asked questions about the Build Prospect Lists:

What do I need to set up before the weekly run?

You choose a Monday run time and connect your scraper and shared spreadsheet. Add each week's industry, location, and requested count to your targets tab.

What happens if this week's target is missing?

You see the issue in the status cell you choose during setup. The Agent skips the search if this Monday has no clear target.

Will every prospect have a phone number or email?

No. Your list keeps missing contact fields blank and notes the gap. You can enable public business contact extraction for available business emails.

Can the list contain fewer leads than I requested?

Yes. You see the actual count and a shortfall when fewer usable listings remain after cleanup. The Agent does not create missing prospects.

What happens when the Agent is unsure?

It stops and asks you. The Agent does not guess when it reaches a decision you have not approved.

Can I review its work?

Yes. Every run creates a plain-language log that you can review and export. Logs are kept for twelve months.

What happens if I cancel?

The Agent stops at the end of the billing month and its tool connections are removed. Your run logs remain available for twelve months.
