What is PhantomBuster

PhantomBuster is an automation toolkit from France and one of the best-known growth tools on the market. The idea: ready-made cloud automations called Phantoms handle repetitive tasks on platforms like LinkedIn, Sales Navigator, Google Maps or Instagram. You can export search results, visit profiles, send connection requests or trigger follow-ups – no code required, everything driven by input lists and schedules.

And that is exactly where Leadscraper comes in – in two ways. Either you feed your Phantoms with verified business leads from Leadscraper and make your automations dramatically more accurate. Or you realise that for local business leads you do not need a Phantom setup at all, because Leadscraper hands you the finished result. Let's look at both.

Importing leads into PhantomBuster: the 3 ways

With Leadscraper you find companies by industry and region – including company name, website, email address and phone number. There are three ways to bring that data into your PhantomBuster workflows:

1. CSV or Google Sheet: Export your lead list from Leadscraper as a CSV and use it – directly or as a Google Sheet – as input for your Phantoms. A company list becomes the starting point for a LinkedIn search for the right decision-makers.

2. Automatically via Zapier or Make: Connect Leadscraper to your workflow through Zapier or Make. New leads land automatically in the sheet your Phantom uses as input – your automations get a constant supply of fresh data.

3. API for power users: If you orchestrate multiple automations, pull leads programmatically via the Leadscraper API and distribute them across different Phantom setups and client accounts.

One thing matters in practice: the cleaner the input, the better the output. Verified company data from Leadscraper means fewer failed runs, less wasted execution time and more precise hits in your automations.
