Hello everyone,

We are currently working on improving the different categories on our Store.

We will communicate about it once it's done.

For the moment, if you have trouble finding the right workflow, do not hesitate to look for it in the search bar or ask the support.

Thank you

See you soon

“Good things come to those who wait”

Contrarily to what we announced in our last newsletter on Monday 21st, we are re-scheduling the release of our most-wanted feature: The Workflow Editor, which we originally forecasted for March 7th.

Why is that

Well, as mentioned above, we were so excited to step up the game with this product development that we may have been too enthusiastic 😅.

An important part of this release is based on an exclusive component dedicated to data aggregation which is something new and (almost) never done in the automation market. Our entire team is working hard to deliver this tailored, state of the art release, in order to make it as functional as possible for the due date.

Speaking of due date... The Workflow Editor will be ready to use on **March 28th***.

Worth the wait!

In the meantime, let’s have a look at what’s new: Captain Academy, New Automations, improvements, and fixes.

Captain Data Academy

We share, we help you work, you learn.

An important part of our job is to advise our clients on data automation, lead gen & co. We decided it was time to bundle this knowledge in an Academy!

Soon to be released, you’ll have access to complete courses, with tutos and ready-to-use templates, to learn everything you need to know about data automation. Stay tuned!

Fresh new automations 🧑‍🚀

• Extract Facebook Group Members: Lots of you asked for this feature which extracts all the members of a Facebook group you’re a part of.
• Add Lead to [Reply.io] Campaign: add a new lead to the Reply.io campaign of your choice and create this new lead in your CRM.
• Extract Twitter Following: extract all the Twitter profile’s information that are following the profile you input.

Improvements 🛠️

• Added “primary” shared connections for LinkedIn People Search with the following fields:
  • number_shared_connections
  • shared_connection_profile_urls
  • search_connection_search_url
• Handled the “location” parameter in the SerpWow Google Search automation

Fixes ⚙️

• Search Pages Jaunes: we added more volume for the search
• Filter issues on workflows using Sales Navigator

As always, feel free to add and vote for new ideas in our public roadmap here.

See you soon,

Captain Data Team

*we will begin to deploy during the night of the 27th.

The Workflow Editor, one of our most expected feature of the year, is coming very soon!

Build your own workflows, in no time

Ever dreamed of building your own automated workflows? Well, our team is making your dream come true!

On March 7th *, you’ll be able to build your own workflows by linking together multiple automations available on the platform.

Imagination will be the only limit!

Here's a little snippet of what it will look like:

How will it work?

As simple as this: by linking different automation blocks between them. For each automation block you’ll be adding to your workflow, you’ll be able to retrieve data from the previous step to build the next one. 

Data aggregation will also be possible between automations, giving you the opportunity to customize your outputs. 

As it will be the first release, we know that it won’t be flawless! Every feedback is welcomed as it will help us build the best feature possible, just for you 🤗.
We will keep you updated in the coming weeks.

In the meantime, you can continue to upvote or add new automation ideas to our public roadmap.

Best,

Guillaume
Co-Founder

*We'll start releasing it the 6th

⚠️ Maintenance from one of our providers ⚠️

Starting from today until the 20th - 4:30 p.m. UTC, we're expecting a maintenance from one of our providers.

You'll be able to use Captain Data as usual but we're anticipating some possible consequences on your jobs:

• a shutdown of your workflows
• a slowdown of your workflows

If it's happening, just hit the retry button in your job to restart the workflow:

We sincerely apologize about this maintenance.

If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact us through our support.

Hello 👋
As stated in our previous announcement, we've had a slight issue with one of our IP provider.
The problem is now completely resolved.

Everything is back to normal, we apologize for any inconvenience.
Have a nice week-end 🎉
