Illustrative. Detection is fingerprint-based against 7,352 signatures — it reports what a page reveals, and a site can reveal nothing.

How it worksThree things you decide

  1. Pick the website columnChoose the column holding each row's site. A row with an empty or invalid URL is skipped without a fetch, but still counts as 1 action.
  2. Run itOne fetch per row, matched against 7,352 fingerprints — CMS, analytics, payments, framework, hosting. Emails, phones and social links are collected on the same fetch and stored.
  3. Filter on what you foundThe column is worth having because you can cut on it: a Shopify store and a WordPress site last touched in 2019 are different conversations, and a competitor tag is a different one again.

Limits — read this before you run it

One fetch per row, so 1 action per row. Detection is fingerprint-based: it finds what a page reveals, and a site can reveal nothing. Emails, phones and social links are collected on the same fetch and stored — showing them later is a click, not another run.

FAQQuestions people actually ask

Why did a site come back with almost nothing?

Detection is fingerprint-based: it reports what a page reveals, and a page can reveal nothing. A hand-built site with no third-party tags legitimately has no stack to report.

What if a site blocks the request?

We retry automatically with a different route. If it still fails the row is marked Failed with the reason — that still counts as 1 action, the same as a successful fetch.

Will it re-run rows that already have a stack?

No. Use Fill missing on the table to run only the empty cells.

What does "Auto-run on new rows" do?

Runs this column by itself whenever new rows arrive — no clicking Run. It only picks up new arrivals; rows already in the table when you turn it on are left alone. It only fires while the app is open — closing it pauses everything until you reopen.

What does "Add run condition" do?

Skips rows where a condition on another column isn't met — e.g. only run if Email is empty. Skipped rows cost no actions, on both manual and auto runs.
