Automate the process
When I was a kid, my grandpa would take us to the bay to go crabbing. We’d throw a rickety folding cage with bait into the water, and we’d wait an indeterminate amount of time for the (inevitably irate) crustaceans to make their way in.
Automatically extract data from your apps with Zapier
What does this have to do with data extraction? Well, getting useful morsels of data from a vast ocean of information isn’t unlike crabbing, minus (usually) the maimed cuticles. You need a tool—albeit a much more sophisticated one than a rickety old cage—that can sift through the depths for you, so you can pluck out what you need when you’re ready. Effective, automated data extraction allows you to do just that.
