Automation is not coming to an end

I generated ant automation, which is running. But it’s not coming to an end since hours.

Hi,

You could either turn the Bardeen extension on and off in the Google extensions menu, or you could go into Bardeen and click on the In Progress tab as per my screenshot. There will be an X next to the playbook that is running so you can stop it

Hey Vin,
thanks for the advice. I tried it again, but I still have the problem.
Can this happen if the table is too large?

Hey,

Did the playbook stop the first time when you followed the steps I shared ?

If you tried running it again and the same thing happened it is likely that you have a long list. Could you share a link to the playbook you are using, a description of what you’re trying to acomplish and any links or information of what you are scraping please ?

Hey,

Yes, I could stop it.

You can find the playbook here: https://www.bardeen.ai/playbook/community/find-email-adress-at-the-web-from-a-company-name-i-have-at-a-spreadsheet-r2DZ9JPvkWFLlw9owJ

I want to work with this sheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1bDhcrSOQ0pS_mcQ82qKrE5RFWJbmtRbvWU8toOTz-aw/edit?usp=sharing To find the Email-Adresses/URL of the companies.

I’ve just gone through your list and because you have 27,000 rows to scrape, it will always take a long time. If you haven’t tested the playbook before, I would recommend testing it with 5 or so rows of data. If you have tested the playbook and it works well, I would recommend scraping in small chunks of 500 rows at a time so it doesn’t take so long.

You can do this by keep a main tab with all your rows and then copying over 500 rows at a time to a new tab and then tell Bardeen to run get the playbook input from the new tab.

Hey,

I tried both, but it’s unstoppable.

I don’t have an X next to the running playbook at the progress tab.

Hi,

I’ll try to see if we can stop it on our end. Just to check, when did you trigger this playbook and how many rows are you scraping ? Is it the full 27,000+ rows in the google sheet ?

Regards,
Vin

Yes, I want to stop it, before I can proceed with a smaller table.

Hi,

I’ve spoken to the engineers and the only way to stop it is either to turn Bardeen on and off or delete the Bardeen extension and then reinstall it. As long as you log in to the same account. All your playbooks will still be there.

It would be amazing if you could book a call here so I can help you rebuild this playbook. There seems to be some errors with the playbook build and we can sort that out on a call. https://app.zencal.io/u/vinkumar/bardeen-support

I booked a meeting for today, but the mail says, it will take part “offline”

So where do we meet?

Hi,

Thank you so much for your patience as we worked through this. I’ve created two playbooks for you, one for companies and one for individuals and a demo showing you how the playbooks work. You’ll need to click on the playbook link below, then click Pin It to run the playbook.

  1. Companies Playbook
  2. Individuals playbook

Demo

Let me know if you have any further questions. I would recommend running this on no more than 200 rows of data at a time just so it doesn’t break and you lose all the scraping data.

Regards,
Vin
